    I am thrilled to be a part of The Goddard School family since 2007. This is one of the most rewarding careers I have ever experienced. My original background being in retail management, I have found myself with an entirely new interest. Originally from Long Island, NY I relocated to Connecticut in 1990 with my husband Kevin and our son Kevin. Our family grew over the years with the additions of Christopher, Connor, and Kayla. As our children got older, I became very involved in their lives and our community...as a cub scout leader, Vice President of the PTO at Center School, and from team mom to Vice President of Pop Warner Football and Cheerleading. I also volunteered and worked in the Brookfield schools for many years. There is nothing in this world more rewarding than being part of a child's growth and development. I am honored to be part of your child's life and dedicated to making their time at Goddard the most rewarding experience ever!
