1st Grade Teacher

I originally am from Newton, Massachusetts, which is right outside the city of Boston. I moved to Vermont for college and I love living here in Burlington. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Vermont with my degree and license in Early Childhood and Special Education, and I feel so lucky to have started my teaching career at MCS! I have been working with kids for many years, from infants through high schoolers. When I am not in the classroom, I teach dance at local studios and I spend my summers coaching and teaching at an all-girls dance training camp. I also love spending time outside and on the lake, doing everything from swimming to sailing to camping and paddleboarding. I am thrilled to be a part of the Mater Christi community and to continue inspiring students to be lifelong learners.
