About The Teacher

I'm starting my 9th year here at Memorial.  I graduated from Franklin Pierce 
College in Rindge, NH.  There I earned my BA in Mathematics and hold a 
certificate in Elementary Education.

On a personal note, I have lived in Litchfield NH for three years.  I have 
two young boys; ages 7 and 4.  Leo, my older son, is going into second grade 
at Presentation of Mary in Hudson.  He loves the school and I never would've 
pinned him as a socialite, but he knows everyone!  It is so neat!  Caleb, our 
younger son, well, to say the least, we had a very adventurous summer with 
him this summer.  He loves to bounce on our trampoline and can get some 
serious air on it.  Well, he was jumping with his 9-year old cousin and fell 
on the trampoline.  His cousin did not see him and bounced on his foot.  
Caleb had an X-Ray and had a fracture on the first metatarsal...the bone in 
your foot that holds the pressure of our weight...so, needless to say, he was 
in a cast the last part of the summer.  He was a real trooper through it all!

Bear, our chocolate lab, is doing well.  Both our boys love to play on and 
with him.  Yes, I said "on".  Bear lets the boys do anything they want to 
him.  He loves the boys very much.  Again we went up north and Bear swam 
every day and loved it!  Bear has perfected his fielding in baseball this 
year and loves to help us try to get the boys out on the diamond!  It is a 
lot of fun with all my boys!

I look forward to working with your students this year. If you have any 
questions, you can call me at school (635-2321) or you can email me.

Mission For The Class

To help all students enjoy school and have a love of learning.  Also, I 
would like to help students learn all that they can in a manner that they 
feel comfortable with.
