What is your favorite quote and why?

"Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!" This quote was often said by my favorite character, Ms. Frizzle. It speaks to me on the Science level but also within our daily lives. We have to take chances in order to find success. Sometimes we thrive, and sometimes we make a mistake; either way we learn. Science and life can also be messy. Many times messy is seen as a bad thing, but that's not always the case! Messes are made during learning, exploring, and having fun! So continue to live life in the way Ms. Frizzle would expect: taking changes, learning from your mistakes, and having fun along the way!

What is your favorite book? (children's or adult book)

"The Happy Book" by Andy Rash. My boys ask me to read this story repeatedly. It is a great social-emotional text that shows children the many feelings you can experience and how to be a good friend while going through an emotional journey.

Do you have kids? If so, tell us about them!

I have 2 young boys, Benjamin and Alexander. Benjamin will be entering 2nd grade in the fall. Alexander will be entering Kindergarten. They both love to swim, play, read, and of course...conduct experiments with Mom!

What is your favorite season and why?

My favorite season is the Fall. I love the cool weather days, apple and pumpkin picking, and playing in the leaves with my boys. Warm apple pies baking in the home, and the beautiful fall colors fill my heart with so much joy.

What do you want our students to remember most about school?

PS65 is a family! We will always be here to support you, even when you leave the nest. My biggest joy is seeing students return. I love to hear about their journey, their successes, and their hopes for the future.
