I was born on Long Island, in New York,  and moved to Nevada in 2004. I am beginning my 19th year teaching in Clark County, my 13th year at Mannion MS.

My husband and I vacation by visiting different cities in the country to tour the baseball stadiums.  This summer we went back east and visited New York and Pennsylvania. We visited all of my family, stayed in Queens, Long Island and Staten Island. We saw the 9/11 Memorial, the Statue of Liberty, played in Battery Park, took a ferry ride in the Hudson, went to Central Park Zoo and roe the carousel and even visited Sesame Place in PA!  We crossed off stadiums 17, 18 and 19 as well – Yankee Stadium to see the Yankees, Citifield to see the Mets and Citizen’s Bank Park to see Bryce Harper and the Phillies!
