Newburyport Montessori school is my happy place and such a huge part of who I am. Working with so many amazing women that share the joy of working with children and making a differences. I began working with children from a young age, first as a mother’s helper and then a babysitter for my entire neighborhood. I always knew that my career would be to become a teacher and that has never waivered. My “why” has always been the pure joy of watching the world through a child’s eyes, as we learn, grow and laugh together. Each and everyday is full of new wonders, dance parties and who could ask for more. I so love being a small part in each child and their families that I have taught in our community.

When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my family and children, Emily and Alex. I also love spending time with my two grand-pups Lazer and Groot! Taking long walks with a great playlist (always country) and reading have become a new return passion. I also love to organize and decorate my home and always have a project going. I continue to work and add on to my Bucket list and have accomplished my #1 which was to skydive. To jump into the clouds with the stunt man from Iron man 3 was a cool bonus. This summer I checked off my list a tattoo. trying new foods such as osyters, lobster and clams. Traveling to Greece and Austrilia has moved to the top.
