What is your role at Kings Road School?
I am a second grade teacher at KRS, stepping into this role for the first time in years. I manage a classroom room of 20 students, creating an engaging and supportive learning environment. My classroom features flexible seating, allowing students to choose workspaces that best support their learning. Beyond daily instruction, I co-led the Comic Book CLub enrichment program with Mrs. Goodbread and I also tutor privately. I hope my students and parents would say that my teaching approach ensures a cohesive, comfortable atmosphere where students can thrive academically and socially.
What are your qualifications to serve in your role?
I have been a classroom teacher for 22 years, twenty have been at KRS! I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education, a Master’s Degree in Administration, and a supervisors certification. I also attained a certification in Holocaust studies last year. In May I was certified as a Level 4 Orton-Gillingham Teacher.
What do you like about Kings Road School?
The people! I work with the best people who always make coming to work fun and interesting. My students make me smile everyday with their stories, excitement to learn and love of our classroom. I’m also grateful for such supportive parents.
What is your favorite book?
I love to read, so this is a hard question. My favorite genre is historical fiction. I have found myself stepping outside my comfort zone and have been surprised with how diverse my reading pallet is. I recently read James, by Percival Everett and LOVED it!
What do you like to do when you are not at Kings Road School?
At home I am a mom of two boys Gavin, 17 and Ben 15. I also have two dogs so my husband and I love to go on walks with them. I live in a lake community and when the weather is nice we take our boat out and fish! I also enjoy puzzling and putting adult LEGOS together with my son Gavin. We just completed The Great Wave Wall by Hokusai.
