• I have been teaching first grade at Sheafe Road since 2002.  I am from Rockland County, went to SUNY New Paltz and settled in Poughkeepsie in 2003.  I have been married since 2005 to my high school sweetheart.  My son Jake was born in 2006, my son Nate was born in March of 2010 and my son Gabe was born in March of 2013.  I love spending time with my babies, camping, hiking, reading, scrapbooking and being with friends and family.  I find teaching first grade very rewarding; it's amazing to watch the kids learn and grow.
