I have 30 years of classroom teaching experience.

One of my favorite things about teaching preschoolers is watching them grow and discovering what they are capable of accomplishing.

My favorite children’s book is “Have You Filled a Bucket Today?” by Carol McCloud. It gives children a clear, physical way to understand abstract feelings like kindness and empathy.

One thing every child should experience is fun in preschool. Having fun fosters a love of learning.

My favorite classroom activity in preschool is storytime and art.

I hope children remember my classroom for having a sense of belonging - to feel accepted, valued, safe, and loved.

I love cats and I have a cat named Mango.

My favorite way to spend time outside of school is to spend time with my three sisters, especially shopping with them.

I’m most excited about meeting my new students and their families.
