I was born in Baltimore and lived near the Baltimore Museum of Art, Memorial
Stadium, and Johns Hopkins University. I have lived in Catonsville for the
last nineteen years with my husband, Rick. We have a 23 year old daughter
named Amanda and a seven year old American Bulldog named Casey Jones. Rick is
an aerospace engineer and a gourmet cook. Amanda lives in Fells Point, is
a wonderful artist, and learned to cook from her dad. Casey is the best dog
ever. We all love to travel, listen to live music, and spend time together
in the backyard. We also love sports and follow our favorite teams (Ravens,
Orioles, Terps) all over the country. I have been a teacher for thirteen
years and my favorite subject is Language Arts. I read and write for pleasure
every single day. I look forward to getting to know all of my new students!
Our mission this year is to expand our knowledge in all subject areas,
challenge ourselves with new learning, and continue to develop our already
excellent reading skills. We are preparing to enter a new phase in our
academic careers and will be working toward developing better organizational
and study skills, accepting increased responsibility for our work and
behaviors, showing more intiative and leadership qualities, and cultivating a
stronger work ethic. This will be a fantastic school year!
