I have been a reading specialist for Wappingers Central School District for ten years now. Before I came to Wappingers to teach, I was a reading specialist for the Newburgh Enlarged City School District. I taught both third and second grade prior to becoming a reading specialist. Besides being a teacher, I am also a mom. I have three children ages 12, 8, and 5. We also have a beagle dachshund mix named Phineas. I love being both a teacher and a mom!
