About The Teacher
After graduating from the University of New Hampshire with a BA in History and Political Science, I found myself working in an office for a commercial real estate association. I quickly figured out that was not the job for me. I needed to be in a fast paced environment where I was challenged and not given time to get bored. Eventually, I came to the conclusion that the job I wanted was to be a middle school teacher. Teaching seemed to have all the qualities I wanted in a job, plus it sounded fun. So, I returned to school and earned a Master’s in Education with a certification in middle school social studies from Lesley College. My decision to become a teacher was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was right, teaching does have all the qualities I was looking for in a career and I have had a lot of fun. Every school year is a new adventure. This will be my fourteenth year with the Wachusett Regional School District. I began my teaching career at Central Tree Middle School and then transferred to Mountview Middle School. I have taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. To be honest, all of those grades have been fun, but 8th grade is my favorite. On a personal note, I live in Worcester with my husband Mark, son Matthew, daughter Katelyn, and dog Zoe. While I am teaching, Mark works as a structural engineer in Boston, Matthew attends Abby Kelley Foster Charter School, Katelyn attends daycare in Shrewsbury, and Zoe sleeps at home.

Mission
My goal is for students to leave my class with an understanding and appreciation of the world around them. I want students to love to read and to love to learn about the world around them. Also, I hope all students develop skills that will help them in the rest of their school and in life.
