About Me

I am looking forward to meeting all of my new sixth-grade students this year.  My top priority is to help them to have a smooth and enjoyable transition into middle school.  Supporting social, emotional, and educational needs are key.  In my classroom, I try to help children see the real-world importance of what they are taught and to explore the connections between literature, their life experiences, and the world.  

Originally from Brooklyn, New York, I have lived in the DMV for 22 years.  I attended the University at Albany where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and secondary education and then a Master of Science degree in reading.
