I grew up in Chelmsford, Massachusetts with my mother, father and my two sisters. I am the oldest of three girls! My sister Michelle is three years younger than I am my sister Kaitlyn is ten years younger. We do a lot together as a family and I wouldn't have it any other way!
I got married in July 2017 to my husband Joe. In July of 2018 we welcomed the birth of our son Cameron and we are loving this journey! Joe and I are proud dog parents to Ellie Mae-- she is a lab mix that we rescued when she was four months old. She turned three in July of 2018. She is just the best! I have always had a dog and cannot imagine my life without one!
I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in the first grade! I still keep in contact with my first grade teacher-- she is the reason why I have always wanted to teach. She inspired me in so many ways and I hope to be able to inspire my students as well! I graduated from Framingham State College in May of 2010 with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Educational Psychology. In May of 2015, I graduated from Framingham State University with a Master's of Education in S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Six years ago, I was hired as a teacher's assistant in a 4th grade class at Dallin. Only a few days after I started, I was quickly asked to take over a maternity leave for a 4th grade teacher. I taught that class for two months and it was such a great experience for both me and the students! Once the classroom teacher returned, I was a teacher's assistant for the remainder of the school year. All of these experiences have prepared me for my own classroom. This is my eighth year as a 5th grade teacher and my ninth school year working at Dallin!
In my spare time, I enjoy reading on my kindle and spending quality time with my family and friends. My favorite spot to escape to is York Beach, Maine. I want to learn how more about cooking and try out some exciting recipes!
I am looking forward to this upcoming year and all the adventures it may bring!
