I have been teaching eighth grade reading here at the Middle School since the fall of 2003. Prior to that, I taught for seven years in the Reading School District. I have chosen this field because I love to read and want to pass my love of reading on to others. Currently, I teach 3 sections of 8th grade  Communications- each section meets 12 periods per cycle. 

Besides reading, I like to listen to all sorts of music, travel, play board games with friends and family, and to relax while watching funny movies.  I also like love spending time with my husband, Gary, and my two daughters, Sarah and Meghan.

 I graduated from Reading High School, received my Bachelor’s degree in Special Education from Millersville University, and earned my Master’s degree in Reading and Language Arts Education from Millersville University as well. I hold a Level II certificate in Special Education, a Level II certification as a Reading Specialist, and I also earned certification in Middle School English Language Arts.

In addition, I have helped to coach the Middle School Reading Olympics team in the past, and I am currently a part of the school's Student Assistance Program.
