Timonium Elementary

Learn. Inspire. Challenge. Create.

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!

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.

It only took three months in a cold call sales position for me to realize that I missed my calling to be a teacher. I have always loved being in a school environment, and the office building was not for me. I soon returned to Towson University to pursue my Masters of Art in Teaching for Elementary Education. My first job was in Harford County at Deerfield Elementary. I taught fifth grade for three years at Deerfield. I grew up in the Towson and Mays Chapel area and always wanted to teach in Baltimore County. It was always my dream to find a job closer to home and I am thrilled to be a part of Timonium Elementary!

I have had the opportunity to work with several grade levels at Timonium, thriving in the opportunities that each grade level brings! After spending my first year at Timonium teaching in fifth grade, I decided that I wanted to experience teaching in a primary grade and made the move down to first grade!  I enjoyed an amazing year filled with new experiences in first grade, but decided to make the shift up to fourth grade when a position opened up. After a few great years in fourth grade, I am excited for this new adventure in second grade at Timonium!
