Bonjour à vous tous! Cette année, j'ai le privilège et le plaisir de guider vos enfants vers la réussite. Je suis très contente d'être de retour à Dorset pour la quatrième fois et de travailler avec une équipe aussi dynamique et dévouée.  Pendant mon temps libre, j'aime voyager, lire et faire de la randonnée.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the Dorset community this year. I've been teaching at St. Patrick Elementary for a number of years both as a Kindergarten and resource teacher. I am a mother of three beautiful children. I love to sing and dance, and I'm actively involved in a non profit organization called "Mwana Villages" where we help rescue orphaned and abandoned children in the Republic of Congo, Africa. I look forward teaching Kindergarten this year.
