I am truly honored to be recognized as the 2025-2026 Teacher of the Year at New Manchester Elementary School. As a 5th grade teacher, my journey into education is deeply personal. Having struggled in school myself, I became a teacher to be the kind of support I once needed—someone who sees the potential in every student, especially those for whom learning doesn’t come easily.
What I love most about teaching is building strong, meaningful relationships with my students. Creating a classroom where they feel understood, supported, and empowered is at the heart of everything I do.
Outside of school, I’m a proud wife and mom to two amazing daughters. In my personal time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending quality time with my beautiful family.
