Welcome to 5th Grade!

Hello, parents and students! I am very excited to be your child's teacher this school year! I knew that I wanted to be a teacher since the fifth grade, when I had children from my neighborhood working on art projects in my basement! 

This is my nineteenth year teaching at Waterville Community, and I love it! I love to watch children grasp the understanding of the concepts that are taught and apply them to the real world. I am excited to be a part of your child's learning experience and look forward to working with you and your child. 

"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being." 

                                                - Johann Wolfgang con Goethe

I am married to my amazing husband and best friend, and we have two terrific children. I also have two grandchildren. I love spending time with my family and relaxing at the river.
