I graduated from Slippery Rock University in 2003 and immediately began working in Norwin Middle School as an instructional aide.    In the fall of 2004, I took a full time mathematics position at Spotsylvania High School in Fredericksburg, Virginia. After a year there, I came back to Pennsylvania and accepted a long term substitute position at Hillcrest Intermediate School where I taught Health and Physical Education. The following year,2006, I worked as an aide for the mathematics department at Norwin High School.  In 2007 I was  hired full time at Norwin School District and have been at Sunset Valley Elementary and Stewartsville Elementary ever since.  I have completed my Master's degree from Clarion University. My interests outside of the classroom include coaching baseball and playing golf and basketball.  I am a beginner hunter and stay active by working out, running and visiting friends from college. And, I love to watch television.
