About The Teacher
This is my 23rd year teaching Kindergarten at Brushy Creek! I have also taught first grade in Florida and Music in New York. I like teaching Kindergarten since it gives me the opportunity to give students a strong foundation for learning and life. I was born and raised in Ossining, New York and graduated from TCU. I've visited India several times with my husband, who was born there, and lived in Hong Kong for a while. I've also traveled to other countries in Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia. We have two children. Amol, 29,is working as a line cook, after winning first place in the Food and Wine Foundation's Eighth Annual Stephan Pyles Culinary Scholarship Cookoff and Mallika,26, is a fraud investigator. I like to read, exercise and garden with native plants. This summer I visited England, Scotland, Wales and France and had a fabulous time! In England I saw Stonehenge; Beatrix Potter's house and garden where Peter Rabbit was written; Nottingham Castle from the story of Robin Hood; Charles Darwin's museum-the father of modern science; and Windsor Castle, where the current Royal Family lives. In Scotland we saw Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument, the story of the movie Braveheart. Wales has gorgeous scenery and in France we visited the Burgundy region. Seeing historical places is fascinating!
