Ed. in Teaching and Curriculum from Fitchburg State University.

"The more you read, the more succeed" is what I try to focus on and emphasize to my students each year teaching. I've been teaching English Language Arts and Social Studies for many years in Boston Public Schools and I still enjoy it.  Building relationships with students is essential for learning and I continue to find new ways to connect to all students in and out of the classroom. 

 I was born and raised in Boston and graduated from a BPS school (BLA). I am very excired to be teaching 8th grade ELA! Outside of school I enjoy reading, going to concerts, and traveling.

Ms. Phoenix is excited to be the 6th and 8th grade science teacher at the Haley. She loves to foster student curiosity for the world. Outside of school, Ms. Phoenix enjoys travelling, going to the movies, and spending time with her young daughter. 

 I love the energy we create in the classroom learning math here at the Haley with two teachers and lots of energetic students.  When I am not in school I enjoy spending time with my family or improving my golf game.
