I was born and raised on Long Island, NY.  I attended Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York.  Right after graduation I moved to Texas and worked in Arlington ISD before becoming a Maverick.  I am starting my 23nd year of teaching and 17 of those years have been at Mathews.  I have taught many grades, but 2nd grade is where my heart is.  I am excited to be back!

I am a mother of two children, who are both now attending Schimelpfennig- my daughter is a 7th grader and my son is a 6th grader.

 When I am not teaching I enjoy reading, crafting, baking and spending time with my family.
