WELCOME! 

I truly believe first grade is a magical year. 6 and 7-year-olds have a natural curiosity that leads to a love of learning and makes my job so fun. You will be amazed at how much they will grow this year. It’s the best part of my job! This is my 20th year teaching first grade at Allenwood. I feel so lucky to get to spend my days with your wonderful children.  I am so happy to be team teaching with Mrs. Kowsaluk again this year!  We are ready to rock the 2024-2025 school year! 

ABOUT ME: 

I grew up in Wall and live in the Allenwood area. I am married to my wonderful husband, Tim, for 15 years. We have 3 children. Ella is a freshman at Wall High School. Mason is 9 and in fourth grade at Allenwood. My youngest, Gavin, is in second grade Allenwood. I love that I get to experience both sides as a parent and a teacher at this school.
