BETHLEHEM ELEMENTARY STAFF
I was born in Waterburry Conn but was raised in a small town in St Bruno Quebec Canada. My parents were French Canadian and we spoke only French in our house growing up. I earned a degree in finance at Concordia University in Montreal. I met my husband in third grade and became best friends for life. We were blessed with three beautiful and smart daughters. Over the years I have run over 25 marathons and many half marathons. My passion in life is to stay healthy by eating and cooking food that I grow. As well as staying fit by walking, running and biking everyday. I want to grow old by staying young at heart.

I was born and raised in Lancaster, NH and lived there until 2009 when I moved to Vermont with my husband. We have a one year old daughter and an 11 year old yellow lab who loves to go on all kids of adventures with us. I went to school at Plymouth State University for Elementary Education and have taught at BES for 7 years. When I'm not at school with my school friends -- I enjoy hiking, swimming, fishing, camping, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends!

I am the Health and PE Teacher here at Bethlehem Elementary School. I moved from Oregon to New Hampshire in 2009. Getting the chance to empower students with knowledge to make achievements in their personal fitness, athleticism, sportsmanship, personal health, and character traits is the most rewarding career for me. I love being involved in many facets of school culture that include the staff, community, and students. In my personal time, I enjoy outdoor activities of all seasons, gardening, spending time with my grandchildren, and many forms of physical activities.

I teach 6th grade math and science at BES. This year will be my 7th year in the 6th grade and our outdoor adventures and exciting curriculum are my favorite part about teaching.

Sharing my curiosity about the world around us with my own children and my students is what I enjoy most in life!
