I can't wait to get to know each and every one of you! I wanted to share a bit about myself to get us started!
I am originally from Conway, NH and absolutely LOVE being outside, especially hiking. I also love to travel and bring my experiences back to the classroom. I received my Master's in Elementary Education from the University of New Hampshire in 2012. This will be my sixth year teaching first grade at Dondero and I can't wait to start the adventure. I have done a lot of work at Dondero with Growth Mindset and use a lot of this in the classroom as well! You may also see me coaching the Dondero soccer or girls basketball team, or facilitating student leadership. Dondero is one of my happy places and the community here is incredible!
