I grew up in Kennebunk and received my undergraduate degree in
Communications at the University of Southern Maine. I continued my
education at the University of New England in the field of education, where
I graduated from the Teaching Certification Program. I later received
my Masters Degree in Educational Leadership with a focus on literacy.
I have taught fifth and sixth grade, and this will be my ninth year at
the middle school. I live in Kennebunk with my husband, Mark, and my three
children. My twins are enrolled as college sophomores, and my oldest
graduated with his Master's Degree in Meteorology in May. He has currently
accepted a job with the University of Utah.
I love animals and have an assortment of critters! I have two Shih Tzus
(Winnie and Porter)and two cats(William and Ginger). For leisure activities
I love to dance, paint, garden, read, and travel.
I believe my work as a teacher is to help every child feel successful in
undertaking new challenges. These new opportunities for growth may take
place within the classroom or during outside activities. I believe every
child has a right to feel secure in their learning environment and to feel
comfortable with classroom participation. I also believe that every student
should have the opportunity to learn to exercise responsibility for their
choices and their work.
