I am so excited for another amazing third grade year. This will be my sixth year teaching third grade at John W. Tolbert, Jr. Elementary School and my 14th year of teaching. I earned a bachelor’s degree in government and philosophy from Clark University and a Master’s degree in Elementary Education from Pfeiffer University. I have lived in many different parts of our country and have traveled throughout the world.

While bringing the fabric of all these experiences into the classroom, I believe in teaching with passion and creating a community where every student has a voice.  As your child’s teacher, I believe it is vital to teach students how to become self-motivated life-long learners, in order to become the dreamers, thinkers, and leaders of tomorrow. I hope to instill a joy of learning and a love of school in every student. I look forward to a wonderful third grade year filled with curiosity and learning.
