I was born and raised in Glen Park, NY. I am a former graduate of General Brown. I earned my Bachelor's degree and my Master's degree from SUNY Potsdam. In my teaching career, I have worn many "hats." I have substituted in various districts and I've been a teacher's assistant in a special education classroom. I was a Pre-K teacher and I have taught 3rd grade for the past 15 years. My hobbies are reading, exercising, and spending time with family and friends. I currently live in Dexter, NY with my husband and daughter.
