A Little About Me...

One unique thing about me is that I was born in Alaska, but when I was 4, my mom and I moved to Braintree. I went to school in Braintree and still live here today :) After graduating from Braintree High I got my BA in Elementary Education and Psychology from Stonehill College and then went to American International College for my Master's in Elementary Education. I did my student teaching for two years here at Morrison, and was lucky enough to get a job here after graduation! This is my sixteenth  year teaching in my own classroom here at Morrison and consider myself very lucky to be a Morrison Mustang!  When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family....especially my son, Dominic! I love watching him grow and learn!!! I love singing and Karaoke. I also love crafts. I have a craft room where I make lots of things with my Cricut and sewing machine :) Summers are a favorite time of year for me because I get to do lots of reading at the pool, or at the beach. I LOVE the water and swimming! AANNDD I get to spend the days with my baby boy :)

These are a few of my favorite things...  Favorite Color: Pink Favorite Sport: I love all 4 major sports, especially when I get to go to games in person! Favorite Hobbies: Crafts, reading and travelling Favorite Book: As a child, I loved The Boxcar Children and Beverly Cleary books. I also loved The Jolly Postman books because I thought it was fun pulling the letters out of the envelopes and reading them. Recently I gave in and read the Twilight series which I loved! Favorite Subject: As a student, and still today as a teacher, my FAVORITE subject is writing! I do all I can to help children brainstorm and organize their ideas to make writing easier. We work all year on adding "sparkling" adjectives and verbs to their writing to make it better. If I could have the job of being Morrison's writing teacher, I would be! Favorite Candy: Sour Patch Kids Favorite Foods: Mexican and Italian Favorite Artists: I love 80's music, country and pop. Favorite Place to Visit: I love getting to visit family in Florida, but after my honeymoon, I fell in love with San Diego...such an awesome city! If I wasn't a teacher I'd be: a pediatrician, hairdresser, or singer :)
