Hello! I am a mother of three children, ages 24, 22 and 21. I have worked the past 15 years as a reading and math instructional assistant in a local elementary school. I was previously a second grade teacher and have held positions as summer school inclusion aide, tutor, Girl Scout leader and religious education teacher. The bulk of my professional experience is with children ages pre-school through 6th grade and I have often worked with children with special needs. I enjoy getting to know children and finding ways to help them discover the world around them, whether it is through play, books, music, cooking or outdoor exploring.
