I am looking forward to meeting all of you and exploring the wonderful world of art and literature by delving into the various realms of artists, works of art, different materials, and creativity.  Words cannot contain my excitement about creating our own adventures by drawing, sketching, painting, and creating various works of art!!! This is my 18th year teaching (14 years of English) at Tison.  I also used to coach at Tison (mainly tennis) for 15 years.  When I am not at school, I play tennis, watch movies, read various books, create art, and spend time with my family (cats included!). My husband, Matt Novikoff, also works and coaches at Tison while my son, Ryan, will be turning five in January. I am so excited to be a part of your grand adventure!
