Education

 A.S. Mathematics

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

 I grew up in Pennsylvania with my parents and sister. After highschool, I attended JCC and majored in mathematics.  While at JCC I tutored algebra to adults who were going back to school, I learned quickly that I really enjoyed teaching.  After JCC, 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 for over 20 years. I started working as a substitute teacher, both daily and long term and 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 our district and have 2 children who attend Pine Valley. I also have one kiddo in college.  When I'm not teaching, I love making music videos with iMovie, playing with my dog and enjoying 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 are also very dedicated to our community. We are volunteers at our local Fire Department.  I am an EMT and also the EMS captain.  My husband (chief) and son are both interior fireman. I enjoy doing what I can to give back and helping those in need.   

 I am looking forward to another great year.
