= = =I was born and raised in Poughkeepsie, NY and I am the youngest of three children. I thought I wanted to be an actress when I was young, but I chose a very different path and went to school at Marywood College (now Marywood University). I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Special Education. My older brother has a developmental disability and inspired me to become a special education teacher. I also received my Master's Degree in Education from Wilkes University. I cannot believe this is my 20th year of teaching! Yikes! = = = = = =You may know my husband, Mr. Hopkins, the WHMS band teacher. We have two sons, Jack and Sam. Jack is 14 years old and in 9th grade. Sam is 12 years old and in 7th grade. The boys and I love to read. We have read all the Harry Potter books. They are our favorite! We have no pets, but we think Harry's owl, Hedwig, is pretty cool! They also really enjoyed the Percy Jackson series. In addition, they love to read anything sports related. I also enjoyed reading The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. The past two summers, I have been on an Elin Hildebrand kick. She writes very good beach books! They all take place on Nantucket Island in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. = = = = = =Things that make me smile: My family & friends, movie nights, holidays, summer, chocolate , good music, down time and of course, my students! = = = = = =If you have any questions or concern, please don't ever hesitate to call or email me! I am looking forward to another great year at WHMS! =
