Background
I
have been an educator for more than 20 years and have taught in
public and independent classrooms throughout Rhode Island . I
began my teaching career at Rocky Hill as a first grade teacher
and immediately was drawn to the unique opportunities that this
terrific school offers both teachers and students. Small classes,
dedicated faculty, supportive families, inspiring students and
a campus which affords countless possibilities for educating young
children are just some of the reasons that I feel challenged and
fulfilled as part of the Rocky Hill School community.

On
a Personal Note
To
laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons
and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest
citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate
beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to
leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden
patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed
with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life
has breathed easier because you have lived...this is to have succeeded.
