I am a fifth grade science teacher at South Meadow School. I have been teaching here at SMS for over 20 years and have been a teacher for over 30 years. I am the student council advisor and the advisor for the fifth grade science club. At the district level, I am on the science curriculum committee and the curriculum council committee. At the state level, I am on the board of New Hampshire Excellence in Education. Outside of school, I am an avid crafter and reader. I enjoy the outdoors and being with family and friends.
