    I am thrilled to have been part of The Goddard School family since 2007. This has truly been one of the most rewarding careers of my life. With an original background in retail management, I discovered a new passion working with children and supporting their growth. Originally from Long Island, NY, I relocated to Connecticut in 1990 with my husband, Kevin, and our son, Kevin. Over the years our family grew with the additions of Christopher, Connor, and Kayla. As my children grew, I became very involved in their lives and our community, serving as a Cub Scout leader, Vice President of the PTO at Center School, and volunteering in many roles from team mom to Vice President of Pop Warner Football and Cheerleading. I also spent many years volunteering and working in the Brookfield schools. There is nothing more meaningful to me than being part of a child’s growth and development, and I am honored to share in your child’s journey here at Goddard.
