I began my college career, not with the hopes of becoming an educator, but with the desire to become a computer accountant. It took only a few semesters for me to realize that crunching numbers and sitting in front of a computer were not my cups of tea. With some encouragement from friends, I began taking education classes. It was during that time I became hooked on teaching .I graduated from Villa Julie College with an Elementary Education degree in December of 1995, and in the spring of 1996 I was hired as a long term substitute for a second grade classroom here at TES. I was thrilled to be brought on as a full time teacher by the end of that school year.
Second grade is where I stayed until I received my graduate degree in Reading Education from Towson University. I spent two years working as Timonium’s reading specialist, servicing children in kindergarten, first, second, and fifth grades. I enjoyed the chance to work with many TES students, and I learned a great deal about reading instruction while holding that position, but I missed the classroom atmosphere and teaching multiple subjects. It was back to second grade for me! After many years teaching in second grade, I'm looking forward to a new adventure on the third grade team!
I am incredibly fortunate to have spent my entire teaching career at such a wonderful elementary school. The teachers/staff and TES families are dedicated to making learning a number one priority for all children.
