I am the treasurer.

I’m a 5th grade English Language Arts teacher.

I was new to Massachusetts, and I was looking to meet like minded people in the area who wanted to give back to their community.
4.) What was the first concert you went to?
My first concert was 98 Degrees and Jessica Simpson was the opening act!
5.) If you could spend a day in someone else’s shoes, whose would they be? Why?
Amy Poehler! She is a powerhouse in the entertainment industry and I’d love to be that funny for a day!
6.) Where is your happy place?
My happy place is anywhere my pup, Hunter is.

My absolute favorite holiday is Halloween! I love decorating my house and yard and finding the perfect costume to wear! Plus, I mean... candy!!!

Today, I am most grateful for the sun melting away the snow!
