 I live in North Yarmouth, Maine with my husband, two children, 
and two dogs.  My daughter, Katie, graduated from the University of Michigan
in the spring of 2010 and landed a job in Dallas, Texas.  My son is currently a
sophomore studying engineering at Clemson University.  I lived all over the
United States while I was growing up,  but for the past 24 years I've lived in
Maine.  It is by far my favorite place to live. It is such a great place to
bring up children and appreciate the outdoors. 

I have been teaching in the Falmouth School system for the past fourteen
years.  I taught 5th grade for three years at Plummer- Motz and the rest of
the time was at Falmouth Middle School.  Now I'm back at the Elementary School.  
During my time in Falmouth,  I received my masters degree  in teacher leadership and 
literacy through a cohort group I attended with many other Falmouth teachers.  

I have one major hobby which is collage art.  Aside from that, I like
gardening, cooking, biking, and  going to the beach just to name a few.  Most
of all I enjoy spending  time with family and friends.
