About The Teacher
Education is very important to me. I have always viewed it as a vehicle to better ourselves and enrich our quality of life. Education does not just occur in the formal school/institutional settings; we learn things everywhere. I am humble enough to know I am still learning - and loving and appreciating the growth that comes with it. In formal educational terms, I earned my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education at Fitchburg State College in 1998. I decided to go back to school in 2000 part-time while I was teaching and obtained a MEd from Worcester State College in 2004. This is my tenth year at Wachusett Regional School District. I am an active member of the community I live in, Northbridge. I serve as my church's Sunday school superintendant. We also run a monthly Grass Roots Coffee House, featuring folk artists from the Central MA area. In 2004 I was invited to become a member of the Beta Chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa, an International Honorary Organization for Women Educators. I keep going to conferences and conventions during the summer months to meet with educators from all over the world to share, learn, and teach each other new things. For fun I love gardening, camping, reading, hiking, and singing - but most of all I love teaching. I feel like I am lucky because I have the best job in the world! FAVORITE QUOTES: "Never have ideas about children and never have ideas for them." - George Orwell "Whatever you are be a good one." - Abraham Lincoln "Tell people what has to be done; not how to do it; let them surprise you with their ingenuity". - Gen. George Patton
