Education/Experience

I earned my bachelor’s degree from Northern Vermont University - Johnson in Inclusive Elementary Education. I have been teaching most of my adult career starting as a preschool teacher for 15 years before deciding to go back to school to get my teaching license. Before teaching here at Milton, I taught 5/6 Literacy and Global Studies at Eden Central School and was a paraprofessional before that working in the Chittenden East Supervisory Union (now MMUUSD), while attending classes at NVU-Johnson.

Interests/Hobbies

Field Hockey, Hockey, Rugby, Camping, Visiting the Ocean, Waterfalls, and spending time with my family.

A little about me.

I grew up in Vermont and have raised my children here as well. We are a busy family, but we still find time to get together to watch sports! Ice hockey is our favorite with rugby being a close second. My two children have now graduated high school and are venturing out on their own. When I’m not at school, I love to be outdoors! I love to hike, camp and swim during the summer months. In the winter, I like to cuddle up on the couch and watch the snow fall from inside! I don’t care too much for the cold but I do love to see the snow.
