Fourth Grade Team

Meet our fourth grade team

  • Grades 4-6 Teacher, ES
  • Gifted Education Center Teacher, ES

    I’m excited to start my 17th year teaching and my 3rd year as a Belvedere Bulldog! I hold a B.A. in English writing from the University of Pittsburgh and an M.A.T. in Elementary Education from Johns Hopkins University. I have experience teaching all grades, K-12, EXCEPT 6th!

    As a reflective educator, I value working at a PYP school because there are always opportunities to grow my teaching practice. I love working for a better future by nurturing inquiry and global-mindedness in our students, alongside the incredible team of teachers here at Belvedere. 

    In my free time, I stay balanced by reading, exercising, gardening, and spending quality time with my family and friends.  

  • Grades 4-6 Teacher, ES

    This will be my 6th year teaching, but 1st year at Belvedere. I previously taught 5th grade and am excited to be coming to 4th! I discovered my love for teaching by serving in AmeriCorps and went on to earn my Master’s in Elementary Education at the University of New Hampshire.

    I grew up in New Hampshire. I am very passionate about the environment and enjoy being in nature. I especially love hiking. Other things to know about me are that I root for the Bills, have two adorable kitties, love to travel, and always enjoy a good joke. Oh, and I’m getting married in October! 😊

    As a reflective, open-minded, and caring individual, I am looking forward to learning about PYP, getting to know the Belvedere community, and forming new relationships.
