I grew up in Brewster, NY. I received my BS in Education at SUNY Geneseo and my MS in Special Education at College of New Rochelle. I taught Kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade in the Wappingers Central School District for 10 years. I then took 4 years off to stay home with my daughter. This is my 16th year teaching in Arlington (my 15th year at Beekman) In Arlington, I have taught first grade for 5 years and this is my 11th year teaching Kindergarten. 

I live in Pleasant Valley with my husband, Dan, my college daughter Emily and our 11 year old Labradoodle, named Finnegan.
