About me....

I am very excited to be starting my fourth year at the Butler Elementary School.  I know that we are going to have an exciting and memorable year in fifth grade!  It is a privilege to be a part of such a prestigious school district. 

I have a wonderful husband, Steve, who is a photographer. We have three terrific children, three very spoiled dogs named Boo, Wendi and Brownie, a bearded dragon named Fred, two birds named Twinkle and Celia, and a fish named Scout who lives at school during the school year. 

I graduated from Bridgewater State College with a B.S. in Management.  After working in business for many years I returned to Bridgewater State College graduate school in 2005, where I completed a post-baccalaureate graduate program in Elementary Education.  I completed a 16-week student teaching practicum here at the Butler Elementary School in the Fall of 2006.  I am currently in my second year of graduate work towards a master's degree in Educational Leadership at Framingham State College

I have high expectations for all of my students.  I expect each student to give me 100% effort.  The number one rule in my classroom is respect - respect for yourself, your classmates, your materials and your teacher.  I also believe that it is imperative that every student learns how to work together as a team, how to express him/herself effectively, and how take control of his/her own learning.  My role is to guide each student's learning.  The student's role is to embrace the journey towards becoming a life-long learner.
