Personal Interests:

• When not in the classroom, you can find me painting or drawing at my easel with a cup of tea.  My favorite subject matter include flowers, lighthouses and old country barns.
• I loves sailing with my parents, husband and children on a boat named “Summerwind” to my favorite ports which include Newport, RI – Stonington, CT - Cuttyhunk Island, MA - Edgartown, MA.
• Summer always includes a week involved at Vacation Bible School at St Mary’s of Assumption Parish.

I've always had a passion for bringing art into the lives of others. By sharing my talents, I knew that I could influence younger generations to stop and view the world in a unique way. Knowing each child is capable of amazing things, it has always been my goal to encourage them to reach their full potential. By becoming a teacher, I have been able to work side-by-side with these growing artists while learning from them the same amount that they are able to learn from me.
