About Me

I am a 1986 graduate of SWCS, yes, I am a former Trojan! I grew up in the 
Jamestown/Lakewood area.  After high school I attended JCC for 2 years, then 
Buffalo State College where I received my Bachelor's and Master's Degree in 
Business and Distributive Education.  I did my student teaching at City 
Honors in Buffalo and then began my teaching career at Fredonia Central 
School.  This is my 18th year teaching Business Education at Fredoina.  
When I began, I taught career skills in the Middle School and business 
classes in the High School. For the past several years, I have been teaching 
in the High School only, and now I am happy to say I'll be back once again 
for part of my day in the Middle School for the 2012-2013 school year 
teaching 5th and 6th grade computers.   

I currently live in Hamburg with my husband Mike and nephew Garrett.  
Garrett, who is from Virginia, has lived with us since he was a sophomore in 
high school.  He graduated from Frontier HS in 2010 and is currently 
attending his 3rd year at Canisius College on a full baseball scholarship.  
We are very proud of his accomplishments!

When I am not teaching, I enjoy exercising and running, reading, traveling, 
listening to music, watching sporting events, and spending time with friends 
and family. My favorite teams are the Bills, Sabres, and Yankees.  I just 
recently started running and have participated in the Buffalo Half Marathon 
for the past four years.  This summer I also participated in several trail 
runs and did the Sky High Adventure Park at Holiday Valley. I also traveled 
to Jackson Hole, WY and climbed the Grand Teton Mountains and went to a 
Chicago Cubs game in Chicago.
