I have been teaching for 27 years. I come from a family of educators. Both my parents were teachers at Tahanto Regional High School. Two of my four siblings are also teachers. I enjoy spending time with my two sons, Ryan and Zachary. Each summer we go to Florida to visit my sister and enjoy the sun and surf. I have an art degree from the University of Massachusetts and received my Master's degree in Education from Anna Maria College. I believe that the arts are an integral part of a child's education. In my free time, I like to read, practice photography and draw.
