About The Teacher

I was a graduate of Woodhaven High School in 1992. I then 
attended Buffalo State College and earned a Bachelor's Degree in 
Elementary Education with a minor in Psychology.  I also have a  
Master's degree in reading from Eastern Michigan University.  I just finished 
my 2nd Master's Degree in Administration in December of 2010.  Currently, 
this is my 14th year teaching at Randall Elementary School.  
I am currently living in Lincoln Park with my husband, John, guinea pig Dale
(after Dale Earnhardt Jr.) and dog, Oscar.  I collect Wizard of Oz 
memorabilia (especially the Wicked Witch of the West)!  I love
watching football (especially the Buffalo Bills) and NASCAR (Tony Stewart).  
I have one stepson (Andrew).  He will be 15 this year! He is the most amazing 
son I could ask for.  I spend my free time reading all sorts of books and 
listening to country music. I am thrilled to 
be your child's teacher and look forward to an amazing year.

Mission For The Class

All students have the right to learn.  It is my mission to ensure that your 
child feels successful.  All learning styles will be addressed and 
focused on in our third grade classroom.  I feel very strongly 
that it is my job and it is also my passion to find the style of learning 
that works the best for your child.  Please make sure that if  you have any 
questions or concerns, that you bring them to my attention as soon as 
possible.  I will take care of them immediately.
