I teach Kindergarten at Quarles Elementary, and am in my third year of teaching. However, I worked for many years as a teaching assistant and then as a substitute before becoming a certified teacher.  I received my BA from Shenandoah University in University Studies.  I am a teacher consultant for the Shenandoah Valley Writing Project.  Teaching is a lifelong dream, and my goal is to instill a love of learning in all of my students.  I am a Winchester native and attended and graduated from Winchester Public Schools.  On a more personal note, I am a wife and mother.  Together my husband and I have six children.  In my spare time, I love reading and watching comedies.  I also love to swing dance and enjoy visiting amusement parks to ride roller coasters.
