About Me

I graduated from Nazareth High School and earned my Bachelor's of Education from Shippensburg University and Master’s degree from Wilson College. I have had the opportunity to work as both a fifth and third grade teacher in the district at Fairview and Hooverville as well as an Instructional Support Teacher (IST) at Mowrey and Summitview. I am excited to continue to see many of the learners I once had in elementary school continue to grow and work with them to have a positive WAMS experience. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me. My contact information is listed below.
