I am a fun loving, book reading, tech driven educator who wants to make a difference. I enjoy traveling, flowers, dance, and art. I am a huge fan of Pinterest. My greatest loves are my husband and my children. My students inspire me!
When I was a young girl my favorite book was All Of A Kind Family by Sydney Taylor. I also enjoyed "The Little House" Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder and the Trixie Belden Mysteries. As an adult I enjoy reading Historical Biographies and professional articles on using technology in the classroom. I collect Children's Picture Books.

Philosophy
I believe that every student must develop strong technological and literacy skills and use them in order to function adequately as Global Citizens in the 21st century and beyond. Teachers must ensure that digital and print resources are integrated across the K-8 curriculum. Students must learn to use appropriate sources to access information effectively, productively, and ethically in order to become more constructive learners as part of their regular classroom routine. They must be able to manage the many forms of information by accessing it, understanding it, interpreting it, evaluating it, and collaborating with it. They also must be able to analyze information for content, relevancy and accuracy, and be able to present that information in a variety of formats. Print materials must continue to stimulate student interest in reading, support the curriculum of the school, and reflect our Catholic beliefs.
