Bio:   I am embarking on my fifteenth year in the Derby school district!  I worked for eight years at Irving Elementary School, and then transferred to Derby High School in the 2015 school year.  I graduated from Central Connecticut State University receiving a Bachelor's Degree with a major in Sociology and a minor in Psychology. After completing my Bachelor's degree, I worked as a one-on-one paraprofessional for a student with multiple disabilities.  I then continued my education pathway by earning a Master’s Degree in School Counseling at Southern Connecticut State University. Currently, I am the advisor of the National Honor Society and the Valley SURGE council. My years in Derby have been filled with much joy and pride. Our students are the reason in which I have put down roots in the Derby School District. Not only do I find joy in raising my own two wonderful daughters and teaching them the skills needed to be successful in this ever changing society, but I also find pleasure in guiding our awesome students at DHS in reaching their fullest potential!
