Learn More About Me!
I have taught kindergarten, first, and second grade in Prince William County
Schools for the past five years. I'm very excited to begin my sixth year in
the school division and my third year at Marshall Elementary! I'm
especially THRILLED to teach full-day kindergarten, in the first year of our
program at Marshall!! I am also proud to be a member of Marshall's
Instructional Consultation Team.
I grew up in the village of Pocono Lake in northeastern Pennsylvania. I
guess my love of science and exploring nature grew out of living in the
Pocono Mountains with my parents and two brothers!
I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education and Elementary
Education from Bloomsburg University in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. I
received my Master's Degree in New Professional Studies--Teaching
from the IET (Initiatives in Educational Transformation) program at George
Mason University.
I have been married for 3 years to my best friend, Jeff. We live in
Dumfries with our two cats, Smokey and Leo. In my spare time, I enjoy
designing this website, going out to the movies, and playing board games.
In one visit to our classroom, you'll see that I am a collector of BOOKS! I
love spending time with my family too, especially my 4 nieces and 3 nephews!!

Teaching Philosophy
When provided with respect and encouragement, all children can succeed when
guided to appropriate learning goals. My students know they are valued
members of a classroom community where they are given numerous opportunities
to flourish.
I understand the importance of compassion and consistent patience when
fostering a caring, learning environment. My classroom is an exciting
place, filled with enthusiasm and laughter, highlighted with kindness and
understanding, and built on a foundation of mutual trust.
