Before I obtained my Masters Degree and became a Special Education Teacher, I was constantly babysitting. I have always loved working with children of all ages, and opening their eyes to how exciting and exhilirating life and learning can be. In addition to teaching, I am also the Girl's Lacrosse Assistant Coach at Brien McMahon. I have always led an active and healthy lifestyle and believe that sports open up a plethora of doors for kids, and allow them to be a part of something bigger than themselves. With this title, it is required to be First Aid and CPR certified and of course, working in the Public Schools requires thorough background checks and fingerprinting (all up to date) I have experience working with newborns all the way up to adults with special needs! I look forward to helping you with whatever your needs may be for the Summer!
