Happy 2020!  I am excited to get the new year started by diving into our third grade Traditional Tales Reading Unit! 

I have been teaching 23 years.  I have taught Pre K, K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades throughout my career.  I have my Master's Degree and I earned my National Board Certification initially in 2007 and have renewed my certification this school year.  I feel children must have a safe and pleasant environment in order to learn and that every child should be encouraged to reach his/her greatest potential.  I am a New York City native.  I lived in Queens, NY until I married a Summerfield, NC native.  We have an twelve year old daughter, two dachshund puppies, and two kittens.  I enjoy swimming, scuba diving, traveling, and spending time with my family.  I am looking forward to working with your child this year.  I believe a child's parents and teachers must work as a team to ensure each child's success. Please never hesitate to email  me if you have any questions or concerns about your child.
