About the Teacher
I am happy to be here in this wonderful learning community! Everyone has been so welcoming and kind. I have been a Gifted and Talented teacher for 25 years, and I enjoy helping students feed their passions and curiosity.
I graduated from the University of Maine at Orono with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and a Master of Science in Educational Administration from the University of Southern Maine. I also received my Gifted and Talented certification from the University of Southern Maine. I always knew I wanted to help students grow in their learning as I fully understand the nature and beauty of a curious mind. My 35 years of teaching in a traditional or multiage classroom at almost every grade and as a Gifted and Talented teacher have served me well.
Cooking and spending time in nature are some of my favorite hobbies. I am an avid reader, and I enjoy hanging out with my husband, four kids, two pups, and two cats.
