I am a graduate of Penn State University and Carlow University. I have a degree in Elementary Education K-6 and Business Administration. I am also certified in Family & Consumer Sciences. My passion is teaching elementary Math and Science. I've been a public-school teacher for 11+ years. During that time, I volunteered as a sponsor for the Science Olympics at the elementary and middle schools. In addition, I sponsored our school Student Council, created Blessing in a Backpack with our social worker and sponsored card clubs. There are not many careers where you can make a difference in a child's life. Teaching is one such occupation and I am an educator that will go above and beyond the traditional classroom and become involved in building a strong rapport with my students, parents/guardians and community. I have taught from the primary centers to the middle school various grade levels and subjects. I am passionate to make a difference in each learner's life. When I am not teaching, I enjoy watching local professional sports events such as baseball, football and hockey. I attend many events with my nephews and nieces. We enjoy game nights, attending concerts, musicals and their school events. I am an avid supporter of our local animal shelters and enjoy taking care of dogs, cats and horses.
