Hello! I am very excited to start my first official school year at WCCC. I have been with WCCC for 6 months as a Site Coordinator for afterschool and working in the yellow room a couple mornings during the week at the Early Childcare Center. I have been working in childcare for several years now and cannot imagine working in another field. I started my career volunteering in high school in a childcare center. Since then I have been a Teacher’s Assistant at two childcare facilities and spent time as an administrator for a before and after school program in Rhode Island. I have experience working with children from infants to school age and have loved watching the children grow and develop over the years. I graduated from Rhode Island College with a Bachelor’s degree in Operations Management and Anthropology. I usually spend my free time walking my dog Samson and spending time with my family and friends. I am very excited to continue being a part of a wonderful team and working with all the children and families at WCCC

I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design and received a Bachelor of Art’s degree in film and video. After graduating, I taught art at the Landmark School, in Beverly Massachusetts for two years. I loved working with kids and always valued the people I worked with. But I soon put my degree in the arts to use by working in graphic design and computer animation. After over thirty years of working as a freelance animator and designer, I realized that I still loved teaching, and missed having a connection with the kids and teachers. In the fall of 2022, I began working at WCCC. I am so excited to be working with kids and teachers again and really look forward to my new career. I still do an occasional freelance animation job to keep up with my computer video production skills.

I graduated from Wellesley High School in 2016 and UMASS Boston in 2021. I am continuing my education. I have always loved working with kids. There is always so much more to learn and I am very excited to continue my teaching career at WCCC. In teaching, I try my best to make at least one new connection, with a different child, each day. I am incredibly happy that my journey through WCCC came full circle. I have lived in Wellesley my whole life, and as a child I attended both the ECP as well as the ASP. I can still remember how wonderful my teachers were to me, and how lucky I was to have them. With that in mind, I will strive to make a similar lasting impact on each and every child I work with. In my free time I enjoy being with family, watching and playing all kinds of sports. I have bundles of energy so I love being active. I love going to Lake Winnipesaukee–my favorite place in the world, in the summertime. Boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming and fishing are some of my favorite activities.

Hello everyone, thank you for welcoming me to WCCC. I am looking forward to being the floating site coordinator. My experience includes being an athletic director, basketball coach, site coordinator for an after-school program, and master of ceremonies for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. I love all genres of music, playing basketball, working out, video games, watching movies, traveling, and hanging out with my friends. Thank you for the opportunity to spend time with you.
