I am a graduate of Centenary College where I majored in history and Elementary Education for my BA ('05).  From there I went on to complete my MA in Master of Education; Educational Practice ('12). This is my eighth year at Mansfield Elementary School. With the exception of one year as a third grade teacher, all of my years have been spent as a part of the fourth grade team. I am very honored to have been awarded Wal*Mart Teacher of The Year ('07) and Teacher of the Year at Mansfield Elementary School ('09). Teaching is a passion of mine. My classroom is a place where we all learn and grow with and from each other.  Working with my students and getting to know them on an individual basis is very rewarding. I find the students to be amazing, interesting, and delightful.  My family and I live in Mansfield Township. As a family we like to spend time in our states parks and beaches and we especially enjoy boating on Lake Hopatcong.
