Hi!  I am new to the district this year and excited to join the Gator community!  I have been a classroom teacher for the last 21 years at a previous district and last year I was a Math and ELA Interventionist for grades 4, 5, and 6.  Education is something that is very important to me and a passion of mine.  My husband and I just recently moved to the Allegany area with our two kids.  I have a 16-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter.  We also have 2 dogs, a cat, and 3 very active goldfish! 

I am the middle child of three girls.  I have a younger sister who is a physician's assistant in North Carolina and an older sister who is an engineer in Buffalo.  I have 7 nephews and 4 nieces who all live pretty close to me.

In my free time I love to hike, read, bake, do crafts and ride 4-wheelers at our family cabin. Something I am looking forward to in my new role is building relationships and making new friends. I hope to meet many awesome students and families as the Dean of Students here at ALES!
