Professional Biography
I started at Community Christian School in 2019 and have enjoyed my experience being a part of the CCS family. Before starting at CCS, I was a stay-at-home mom raising my three young children. Before that I worked for ABC40/FOX 6 Springfield as a News Producer. I have an A.S. from Springfield Technical Community College in Video Productions and a B.A. from Westfield State University in Broadcast Journalism.

Personal Biography
I grew up in a large family in the small town of Monson, Massachusetts, and I was an avid martial artist, working my way through two black belts in two different styles of martial arts. I met my husband during college, and after marrying him, we moved to Westfield, Massachusetts. We have three children that all attend Community Christian School. We are expecting our fourth child this May. I enjoy spending time with my family, laughing at good comedy, learning about nutrition, and cooking. I also really enjoy making my own kombucha, kefir, colloidal silver, and Einkorn sourdough bread from scratch.

Educational Philosophy
My educational philosophy is one grounded in the truth of Scripture. How we understand the love for God, the love for others, and the truth to set us free from sin is found only through Jesus Christ.  Showing children the love of Christ is what I seek to exemplify in the classroom, and I am so glad that CCS fosters that kind of education.
