I became a teacher because I believe that all children deserve a high quality education that will enable them to make the most of their talents and abilities.  I joined the A. Dorothy Hains Elementary School family in 2005 and have served in several roles through my years here.  Already the 2020-2021 school year is a year like no other!  We will face many challenges as school takes place in some form during this pandemic, however with teamwork we can navigate them and have a successful third grade year. I am looking forward to guiding students as they become more independent readers, write in cursive, learn about fractions,  the multiplication and division of whole numbers, and so much more.
