I grew up in Toms River,
New Jersey, where I spent 
my summers at the beach! I went to college at
Penn State University at University Park where I grew to love college
football--We Are! I had my first teaching experience in Anne Arundel County
where I spent 5 years teaching third grade and 5 years teaching fourth grade. I
also received my master’s degree from McDaniel College during that time. After
spending some time in Annapolis I lived in Baltimore City and met my husband,
Peter, who I married during the summer of 2016. We live in Baltimore County
with my two stepchildren (Luke & Mila) and our daughter (Clara). We love
the beach so we spend our summers visiting Bethany Beach and the Jersey Shore.
I was lucky to start working at Timonium Elementary during the 2016-17 school
year and I am loving my experience in first grade!

I grew up in the Hereford Zone in Baltimore
County. I knew early on that I always wanted to become a teacher. For
college, I attended Towson University where I graduated with degrees in
Elementary Education and in Deaf Studies. I began teaching in Baltimore
County in 2005. Throughout my career I have taught second grade for many
years and this year I have the opportunity to teach first. Desiring to
grow as a teacher, I received my Masters in Reading Education from Towson and
was privileged to attend the International Reading Association Conference in
Costa Rica. Teaching for me is more than a passion, it is an opportunity to
shape the next generation of teachers, authors, scientists, and engineers.
When I am not teaching I love spending time
with my husband and my three children. We love spending
time outside and during the summer we spend most of our time relaxing in Cape
May, New Jersey. I love traveling, although it is harder now with young
children. I enjoying cooking and doing crafts. I also love cheering
on my hometown teams- the Orioles and the Ravens.
I am excited about continuing my career
teaching at Timonium this fall.

I grew up in Timonium and attended 
St. Joseph School,
Cockeysville and Notre Dame Preparatory High School. In May 2017, I graduated
from Loyola University Maryland earning my undergraduate degree in Elementary
Education and a minor in Special Education.
I have a true passion for working with children and have been working
with and creating bonds with children in Baltimore as well as in Haiti and El
Salvador.
This year I am
excited to start a new journey with the first graders coming into my
classroom. I have been given the
opportunity to encourage students who enter my room and will be creating long
lasting friendships.
