Outside of school I enjoy going to different state park lakes during late spring and summer, kayaking with my family, hiking with my husband and daughter, family camping trips and long bike rides. I also try making a new recipe once a week.

I am looking forward to continuing to work in the Berlin Central School District. I am a 2010 honors graduate of Troy High School. I was always a bookworm and look forward to sharing my love for books with the students at BES. I am currently enrolled in classes at Hudson Valley Community College. 

I was a Monitor at BES during the 2019-20 school year and was able to get to know so many wonderful children. I cannot wait to continue working with the amazing staff and students at BES this year. 

I love spending time outdoors with my husband of nine years and my two children, Erin and Luke. We love to go fishing and take Jeep rides through the mud! 

Congratulations on your new position Mrs. Stott!
