About The Teacher

I was one of those children who always knew what they wanted to be when they 
grew up.  For me, it was a teacher!  I have always had a passion for working 
with children and for helping others learn and grow.  I graduated from Seton 
Hall University where I majored in both Elementary Education and Psychology.  
I began my teaching career at Heights in 2004, and have previously taught 
first grade for 7 years.  I spent the last school year on maternity leave, 
and now this will be my first year teaching third grade.  I am very eager to 
begin this new adventure with my students!  

When I'm not teaching, you will find me enjoying my time with my large 
family, especially my husband, Tim, and my 1 year old daughter, Leah.  I also 
love to visit the beach, cook and bake, read, and watch movies.   

Mission For The Class

My goal is to provide a positive and safe learning environment where my
students are able to enjoy learning.  It is important that every child work 
to his/her potential, and strive to be the best he/she can be!
