Meet the Teacher
Artist and Art Educator |
I am one of four art teachers at Pemberton Township High School, my alma mater, in Burlington County, NJ. This is my 28th year of teaching, though I haven't always been an art teacher. I began my career at the Burlington County Juvenile Detention Center. After two years, I became a middle school math and science teacher. Then for eight years I taught middle school English, literature, and social studies. I have been teaching art since 1998, all but one of those years at the high school level.
I have many interests including gardening, cooking, yard sales, yoga, seeing live music, and traveling. After being together for fourteen years, Joe and I got married last year and went on a "Rebirth of American and Canadian Cities Tour" for our honeymoon. We found great art, great food, and music in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, Cooperstown, and Camden. My philosophy is that wherever I find myself, I should make a difference for the greater good.

"You could die, or cry, or just make pies all day. I'm making pies." Patty Griffin |
One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to bake blueberry pies. I grew up picking blueberries on a farm in Pemberton. I don't have time to go picking, but I still go to the farm and buy them fresh. I'll usually make between five to eight pies a season.
