Title: Teacher
Classroom: Toddler (ages 15 mos. - 2+)

I studied education and psychology at Salem State College.  During the course of that time I did practicum hours in a Salem elementary school. I am applying for my licensure as an elementary teacher with the State of Massachusetts.  However, along the way I began teaching part-time with all ages at the Torit School.  I enjoyed the environment and the children so much that I took on a full-time role.  I am infant/toddler/preschool teacher certified.  I also speak fluent Spanish and share that with the children in educationally developmental ways (particularly in the afternoons).

I have a six year old daughter, so I also bring those "Mom" instincts to the classroom.  I have lived various times of my life in Columbia, South America.  I returning from there after a six - month leave with the Torit School to take on my full-time role for the 2010 - 2011 school year.
