I taught all subjects with an area of expertise in math and science. I joined the Assumption family as the learning consultant in 2015 and have really enjoyed the students and staff.

Personal:

         I am a mother of 2 boys and I enjoy watching my boys play soccer. I have a dog named Fluffy and 2 tortoises. In addition, I have a "Turtle Haven" in my yard for box turtles. I like to sit by my pond and watch my water turtles swim by. I like to say that I am "solar powered", energized by the sun, and would love to live in Hawaii eating Italian food.
