South Windsor Public Schools knows that their teachers are here for the right reasons and that we genuinely want to make a difference. They believe in us and support us, just as we believe in and support our students. They challenge us to continuously provide authentic, relevant experiences in our classrooms. I come to work every day and feel valued, respected, trusted, supported and empowered to do what is right for each and every one of my students.

Why I Teach

My students are amazing! Every day I have the privilege to work and interact with young people who are creative, collaborative, invested, kind, hard-working and empathetic. They crave responsibility, agency and, above all, to make their mark on the world.
