About Me
This is my thirteenth year teaching science at McGraw! I love teaching science because it is constantly changing and evolving; I could talk about new discoveries and ideas every single day and I work hard to connect material presented in the classroom to the real world. I hope I inspire my students to never stop questioning the world around them and to never stop learning.
In 2017, I was designated a New York State Master Teacher (https://www.suny.edu/masterteacher/) and have thoroughly enjoyed the collaboration and professional development that are fundamental to this state-wide program. I graduated from this program in June 2022, and therefore earned the distinction of New York State Master Teacher Emeritus.
Outside of school, I enjoy running, hiking, reading, traveling to warm places, cheering on the Syracuse Orange, and spending time with my husband, our daughter, Lily, and our two labradors.
"Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for you work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it." -- Steve Jobs
