Intro
This is my fourth year teaching at Wolcott. I began my teaching career in Tucson, Arizona where I taught for five years. When I got married my husband and I moved to California where I taught middle school for two years before moving to Connecticut. I absolutely love teaching here. My colleagues are amazing, supportive and creative in all that they do and the community is supportive and encouraging and the students are the reason that I teach. Everyday I go home with a wonderful story to share. There is simply no place like this anywhere; this is my second home.
