As far as I can remember I've always wanted to teach.  My dolls sat in a row and I taught them just as I teach today.  This is my 12th year teaching in public schools.  I have worked with preschool children through sixth graders at one time or another.  For the last three years, I have been teaching fourth grade at Bess.  I have really learned to love this grade and the age of the students I teach.  I am very proud of the work they do even if I have to push them to do it.

    I have been married for 13 years.  I have two children and a dog named Rosie.  I enjoy running, decorating, shopping, and music.  I also like to travel and be with family.  I feel very blessed to have the job I have and to work with the people I work with.
