My Background

I initially started my career in the education departments of museums and performing arts centers in Baltimore, MD and Newark, NJ.  I left this field as I wanted to work more directly with children and returned to school to get my Masters degree in Early Childhood Education.  I began my teaching career in Shrewsbury, MA.  Since 2006 I have been teaching kindergarten and first grade at Houghton Elementary School.  I am truly blessed to have a job that I love and continue to try to improve my teaching with every passing year!

My Bachelor of Arts degree is in Museum Studies and Art from McDaniel College and I have a Masters of Science in Early Childhood Education from Wheelock College.  

I live in Sterling with my husband Dan, my son Alec, and my silly cats Auggie and Jack!
