I am very excited to be returning to Roosevelt School as a fifth grade teacher.  Roosevelt is an amazing diverse school. This is the start of my 31st year in education. I have been a classroom teacher for 19 years and an administrator for 11 years.  I have experience teaching grades 1, 2, 3 and 5. I believe in the Growth Mindset that says that everyone, adults included, can continue to learn at high levels. In my spare time, I am an avid reader, love music and traveling. I have two grown children, Joshua and Ellen. I am looking forward to an exciting year filled with learning.
