Meet The Teachers ==== I have been teaching 5th grade in William H. Barton Intermediate School for 14 years! I feel very lucky to be a teacher. 5th Grade is my favorite grade to teach! I live in Queensbury and am originally from Whitehall, New York. I went to school Kindergarten until my senior year at Whitehall. Growing up I sure loved to be active! I was in dancing (Ballet, Jazz and Tap) for almost 12 years! I was a Cheerleader, and ran Track & Field. I also was a Girl Scout. I graduated and then went to college at SUNY Plattsburgh, where I met some wonderful friends and learned to love teaching even more! I'm from family of teachers! My mother and Uncle have retired from teaching in Fort Ann. I currently have 2 cousins and another Uncle who are teachers! I also have one brother, Kevin, who lives out in Albuquerque, New Mexico. ====

==== Growing up in a small community myself, I value all the wonderful opportunities the Queensbury school district has to offer our students. Working with a dedicated faculty and staff make getting up and going to work enjoyable. I started my teaching career in Queensbury in the Spring of 2002. Since then, I've been actively involved with many clubs, activities and student fundraisers! I am the co-advisor of the TECHsperts club and the Chairperson for UNICEF and the “Trick-or-Treat” program. As a member of the community, I have contributed to United Way, the American Cancer Society, Special Olympics, Relay for Life, Tour de Cure and several student fundraisers. ====

==== As an adult I still love being active! When I'm not teaching, I love exploring! I love to camp, walk, run, bike and hike! I've started climbing the 46 High Peaks in the Adirondacks and last summer I hiked to the bottom of the grand canyon! I'm an active cyclist both indoors and out. I love going for rides on my road bike along our beautiful Adirondack back roads. I also teach indoor cycling classes at a local gym in the evenings. I also love traveling and photography. ====
