As I begin my 9^th year of teaching, I am enthusiastic and passionate about working with my students and their families. Together, we will make a difference! I am very fortunate at Hughes Elementary to have such supportive colleagues and administration. With this endless support, comes numerous opportunities to grow in my profession. One of these special circumstances provided me training in Social Emotional Teaching. This invaluable program will be implemented this year to enhance academic prowess and social awareness.

As a mother of twins, I know each and every day is filled with joy and appreciation for life and learning. I commit to you that each of my days at Hughes will embrace this philosophy.
