I am so excited to join New Roots Charter School this year with such awesome students and staff!  I will do everything I can to make math fun and show students where real life and sustainability come in.

I grew up on an island shaped like a pork chop in the middle of the Niagara River called Grand Island.  If you’ve ever driven to Niagara Falls, you’ve probably crossed over it.  If you haven’t, you should.  Not to see Grand Island (the only thing there is a run-down theme park and Billy Fuccillo’s HUUUGGEEE car dealerships) but to see Niagara Falls.  It’s super cool!!

I graduated from Buffalo State College in 2005 with my Bachelor’s degree in Childhood & Mathematics Education.  I moved to Rochester and began teaching at an Expeditionary Learning school as a 7^th and 8^th grade math teacher.  After completing my first year of teaching, I went back to school part-time to begin working on my Master’s degree.  I received my Master’s of Library Science in 2008.  I may be a math teacher but I love to read!

I got married in July 2010 and moved to Elmira.  I live with my husband, Jeremy, and the loves of my life, Sophie and Eric (my cats!).  Now here I am at New Roots and I’m so happy to be here!
