Hello and welcome to fourth grade! I am extremely excited to be returning to the Alexandria Tigers Family! This is my third year of teaching but the fourth year in the district. I started my AMS career as a student teacher with Mrs. Romanella in 2017 teaching seventh-grade science. Then, I moved onto fourth-grade teaching with Ms. Canavan and Ms. Grossmann. During this time, I began my coaching career. I was very fortunate to able to continue coaching and teaching at AMS ever since. This year, I am co-teaching with Emily Canavan. You recognize us as we taught together last year as well!
I have lived in Hunterdon County all my life. I attended Holland Township School from kindergarten to eighth grade. I then moved onto Del Val where I graduated. Next, my path took me to Centenary University where I attended as a triple major. Throughout high school and part of college, I played volleyball. I will be coaching again this 2020-2021 school year for the AMS Tigers. I am now back in my home town of Holland. I am sure you will hear many stories about Baloo. He is my fur baby and biggest love. I love to tell jokes and play pranks so watch out! I am positive we will have an amazing school year together full of laughs and learning so many new things!
Learn more about me on this page. I am very excited to be working with all of you!
