         I was born and raised in Chalfont, PA.  My mother was a 5th grade teacher at Pennridge, and as a child I remember coming home everyday and seeing how much she loved her job.  I was always asking her questions about her students and wanting to help her grade papers.  My mom was an amazing teacher and I decided at a very young age that I wanted to be exactly like her!

    I attended Central Bucks School District and after graduation headed for Penn State, declaring my major as elementary education.  After moving back home, I applied to the Methacton School District, and was grateful to be hired as a long-term substitute at Audubon in third grade!  It was such a rewarding experience and I knew that it was exactly what I wanted to be doing.

    The next year I received a contract at Woodland for third grade.  Since then I have received my master’s degree from Gratz University, where I researched and wrote my thesis on Interactive Read-alouds.  Reading and writing are a huge part of my life and a huge part of my teaching. 

    I completed my masters plus 30 credits, taking my classes on subjects that I felt would help me be the best teacher I could be.  Currently, this is my 17th year of teaching and I love it more and more everyday.  Methacton has been a wonderful place to teach, and I feel fortunate to be working with such wonderful teachers, administrators, parents, and students!  
           When I am not teaching the two other most important parts of my life are being with my children - Brielle is 6 and will be going into first grade this year, and Brett is 5 and will be starting Kindergarten.  They are both happy and amazing children and I absolutely love being a mom.  I hope that Brielle and Brett will be blessed with the same wonderful educational experiences that Methacton provides to your children.  When we sent Brielle off to K. last year, I got to relate to being on the parent side of things, as well as the teacher side.  I look forward to working with all of you.  Your child is going to have an awesome third grade year!
