Education

A.S. Mathematics

B.S. Elementary Education
M.S.E.D. Literacy

 I grew up in Warren County Pennsylvania with my parents and one sister. Right after highschool, I went to JCC and majored in math.  As I tutored algebra to adults who were going back to school, I learned that I really enjoyed teaching.  Then I transfered my Associates in Mathematics degree to SUNY Fredonia where I continued my studies in education. I also attended Fredonia for graduate school where I earned my M.S.E.D. in Literacy.   I've been living and working in the Pine Valley School District since 1999. I started working as a substitute teacher, both daily and long term.  In 2005,  I became a full-time Reading Specialist in the Elementary School. Two years later, I moved to a third grade classrroom.  I taught third grade for 12 years.  In 2020, I moved up to 4th grade! 

I live in Leon and have 2 children that attend Pine Valley. I also have one kiddo in college.  I love making music videos with iMovie and I enjoy every minute with my family.  We are avid campers too.  My most favorite place to camp is among the elk in Benezette, PA.  My family and I also dedicate ourselves to the community by volunteering at our local Leon Fire Department.  I am an EMT and also the ambulance captain.  My husband (chief) and son are both interior fireman. I enjoy giving back and helping my neighbors. 

 I am looking forward to another great year.
