I am a 1996 graduate of Clarion University of Pennsylvania where I received a Bachelor's degree with a dual major in Elementary and Early Childhood Education. I taught in the same school district since 1999. With 20+ years of elementary teaching experience, I have had the opportunity to work with students in all grade levels, but primarily in kindergarten, first, and third grades.
Since I was in high school, I have always been somewhat of a "kid magnet." Through my younger cousins and my church, I discovered that I appear to have a great rapport with children.
My goal when working with my students is to pass on the information they need in a fun way to help them enjoy learning. Sharing my personal experiences with my students is also important to me so that we can develop a relationship where the students feel comfortable. I want them to know that I am here for them and my ultimate goal is to help them in any way I can.
