first circle framingham

I always knew that I wanted a career that involved children, and the pandemic pushed me to make a career change and follow my passion. I have always loved working with, teaching, and learning from children. I always look forward to seeing what the children will teach me, just as much as what I will teach them.

I love to spend time with my family, be outside, and go on adventures with friends. I try to do new things outside my comfort zone whenever I get the chance. I love to be very unique—and I do have some very bright and fun hair colors…. and change it quite often!

I have been working in child care for many years and absolutely love everything about it. I am very schedule oriented and love teaching children problem solving skills. Those lightbulb moments when you can see a child understand a new concept for the first time is my favorite part of teaching. I also love incorporating music and songs into lessons!

I’m originally from Lexington but live in Wayland, and I recently got married! In my free time I enjoy ice skating and swimming, and I especially love watching Bruins and Patriots games.

To see the world through the eyes of a child is truly captivating. Children bring an infectious energy and joy that fills my heart with happiness. I used to work as a Certified Nursing Assistant and thoroughly enjoyed interacting with the patients. At one point, I had the desire to transition to working with children so that I could witness the beginning of growth and development, rather than the sad aspects of it.

I really love science activities. I love watching children’s faces light up when we try out different experiments. There are no mistakes in science—it’s all about exploring and learning from their experiences. I say, the messier, the better! With over 30 years of teaching experience, I’ve learned to think on my feet. But more importantly, I make sure to have lots of fun activities so the kids can learn and thrive in a happy classroom.

I live in Framingham with my husband and my dog. I love the ocean. I love to spend time on the beach, building sandcastles and playing with my grandkids. I also love to explore tide pools… and everything else about the ocean!

I love to create a welcoming and supportive classroom. I have worked with multiple age ranges—watching children learn new skills and grow with their own personality is very rewarding. School and home relationships are such big parts of a child’s life.

I love anything from a fun dance party to getting messy with paint. I really enjoy doing crafts and dance parties! One day I might even bring in a guitar for a fun singalong.

I have a special interest in encouraging learning through activities, sharing lullabies and age-appropriate toys, storytelling, and creating a safe environment.

I live in Framingham with my mom, dad, and older brother. I love to play guitar and piano, go fishing, take MMA Aikido classes, and listen to any kind of music, from country to ’80s classic rock.
