The covid pandemic provided a welcomed silver lining for me, I returned to the education community in 2020, when the pandemic hit, and schools scrambled to transition to a virtual classroom. After spending most of my career in the business world, I always knew one day I would return to teaching. I spent 2020 working as a teacher’s aide and then accepted a long-term second grade teaching position. I fell in love with teaching all over again! I feel truly blessed to have experienced a great year with my second grade students, and I’m looking forward to meeting my SJA kindergarten students.

My husband Michael and I raised three girls who are all out on their own. We enjoy spending time with our friends and family. I love to travel, and spend time at the beach.

I traveled to Armenia on a “bucket list” pilgrimage with childhood church and summer camp friends in 2019 and I hope to travel to the christian quarter in Jerusalem in the near future.
