About: I teach grades 7 & 8 ELA; I am in my 24th year teaching; I have served as a proud West Haven Public School teacher for the majority of my professional career, currently at Bailey Middle School.

Hobbies: My hobbies are varied! I love reading, walking, sports, and listening to music. I especially love being with my family and grandchildren.

Fun Facts: I am an avid lover of food and cooking. I am, however, horrendous at baking, so if I ever offer to bake, kindly turn me down!

“A key to growing as a teacher is to keep company mainly with teachers who uplift you, whose presence inspires you, and whose dedication drives you.” - Robert John Meehan

Professionally, West Haven is my home; I am blessed to work with colleagues who uplift and inspire me with their dedication.
