Welcome to Kindergarten!  I am entering my 21st year of teaching at Essex Elementary School. I am so excited to be your child's kindergarten teacher! I am a graduate of the University of Vermont, both BA and M Ed (Reading/ Language Arts). I live in South Burlington with my husband and our new puppy, Nuala, a chocolate lab. I love reading a good book, baking, gardening, hiking, kayaking, snorkeling and adventure! My newest hobby is quilting! I love a good fabric puzzle! I have two daughters and a step-daughter, 4 grandchildren and three  grand-dogs as well.
