I am a graduate of Alvernia University in Reading, Pennsylvania. I graduated with my bachelor's degree in elementary education in May of 2004 and accepted a fifth grade position in Edgewater, Maryland in August of that year. In December of 2004 I was engaged to be married and planned to return to Pennsylvania to be with my now husband. I accepted a long term sub position at Muhlenberg Middle School in August of 2005 teaching sixth grade social studies. Following my social studies position, I was hired full-time as a sixth grade reading teacher.  In 2008 I moved with the sixth grade to the C.E. Cole Intermediate School to continue teaching reading and social studies.  During that time I earned my master's degree in education from Cabrini College.  After teaching reading and social studies for four years at C.E. Cole I switched to teaching math and science.
