Hello Panthers! This is my second year teaching third grade at Vail Pittman! My classroom is my “happy place” where I can support my students as they grow as readers, thinkers and friends. I taught for over 25 years in California and Connecticut before moving to Las Vegas in 2022 to live nearer to family on the west coast. I received my teaching certificate from the University of California at Davis (Go Aggies!) and a masters degree from Fairfield University in Connecticut (Go Stags!). When I am not teaching or lesson planning you can find me spending time with my husband, kids, grandkids and our Schnoodle dog, Aggie. My favorite things besides third graders are reading and writing books, coffee, walks and water aerobics class.
