About me
The 2023-2024 school year marks my 16th year of teaching. I graduated from Kutztown University in 2008 with a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education and a certification to teach students in grade K-6. I also have two add-on certifications to teach English and social studies for grades 7-9. In 2015, I graduated with my Reading Specialist Masters Degree from Kutztown University. I have taught in a variety of school and grade levels. My first years of teaching were at Southern Middle School in the Reading School Disctrict. From there, I moved on to teach third grade at Sacred Heart School in West Reading. Shortly after, I joined the BHASD faculty as a Title I reading specialist. I then taught a year of six grade English. I was then moved to fifth grade, and this year will be my sixth year with the fifth grade team.
