I came to the Falmouth Corner Preschool with 15 years of Preschool classroom teaching experience and a genuine love of children.
I graduated from the University of Maine in Farmington with a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. After graduation, I taught for a year in Head Start and then continued my career at Pine Grove School in Falmouth. Each summer, I have had the opportunity to be the director of the Falmouth Community Programs Preschool Summer Camp. I have a specific interest in childhood fitness and I recently completed my Youth Fitness Certification. During the School year, I am fortunate to be a running coach for the Falmouth Elementary School Striders cross-country program.
I live in Lewiston with my husband, Scott, and our two dogs, Stella and Bailey. I am an avid runner and I love to practice yoga.
After taking some time to stay home with my two daughters, I am so happy to be a part of Falmouth Corner Preschool!
I graduated from Goucher College with a Bachelor's degree in Special Education, and from John Hopkins University with a Master's degree in Severe Disabilities. I taught in Maryland and Virginia before moving to Maine in 2005, where I taught in Cape Elizabeth and Westbrook. I have taught all ages from preschool through middle school, but preschool is by far my favorite! I first became involved at Falmouth Corner Preschool as a parent when my younger daughter attended the school, and I fell in love with the supportive, cooperative environment.
I am a certified Irish dance instructor, teaching both children and adults, and I also teach preschool creative movement classes. I enjoy using my background in dance and movement, combined with my training in special education, to provide a multi-sensory learning environment for the children in my classroom.
I live in Falmouth with my husband, two daughters, one dog, two fish, and our six crazy chickens! In my free time, I love to read, dance, practice yoga, and explore our beautiful state with my family.
