I began teaching at Barley Sheaf in 2007.  Prior to that, I taught 2^nd grade for two years in Chesapeake, Virginia.  I also taught 3^rd grade for one year at Copper Hill before becoming a Sheafer!  I have a B.S. in Early Childhood Education and an M.A. in Teaching and Learning from Virginia Tech!  Go Hokies!

I developed my love of reading in elementary school and I hope to be able to encourage the same in my students.  I am currently part of the Literacy Support team.  I work with a variety of grade levels, pulling out small groups of students for supplemental help and also pushing-in to classrooms to provide additional support during Reading Workshop. 

I live in Flemington with my husband Keith and two children, Jacob and Chloe.  We also have one furbaby named Maya.  When I am not teaching, I like to spend time with my friends and family!
