I am a mother to a 6th-grade sporty, musical, fun-loving 11-year-old daughter, Ella Laine, and a Bonus-Mom to an 8th-grade comic-book drawing, lego-loving, insanely imaginative 13-year-old son, Xavier. Their father, Josh, and I love spending our free time with them riding our bikes on the local trails, watching Marvel movies, and making a mess in the kitchen cooking up new creations! We love spending our summers down at the Jersey shore, and the winter weekends in Potter County. In addition to my kiddos, I have two pups, Blitz, a red Doberman, and Belle, a Blackmouth Cur Catahoula mix.

Educational Biography:

I received my Associate's Degree in Early Childhood from Reading Area Community College, earning a Dean's List status each semester. I then received my Bachelor's degree from Eastern University, graduating summa cum laude, achieving my degree in Elementary Education PreK - Fourth. I have also obtained my Pennsylvania certification for fifth and sixth grade. I am pursuing my Master's degree in behavioral psychology focusing on behavior analysis. I believe understanding the why's of children's behaviors, positive and negative, is what creates a teacher who can teach the whole child.

This is my first year teaching in Muhlenberg School District. I am excited to be a part of the MEC family and to work with your children throughout the school year!
