I am happy to call myself a native of Buffalo, NY.   I graduated from Nardin Academy with a Regents diploma.  From there,  I graduated Cum Laude from Providence College in Rhode Island with a Bachelor of Art degree.  I went on to earn a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education with dual certification in Elementary and Bilingual Education from SUNY at Buffalo.  I began my teaching career in 1999 as a bilingual 5th grade teacher. I have also taught bilingual 2nd grade and 4th grade.  Currently,  I enjoy teaching a 1st Grade Dual Language Immersion class.  Every year I hope to impart my true love of learning to my students.
