The 2024-2025 school year will be my 20th school year at Dallas Middle School and 25th year teaching - yet I don't feel like I'm old enough for that to be true!
On the education front (in case you are quizzed about this on trivia night), I am a graduate of Kutztown University (twice!) with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and a Master of Education/Reading Specialist. I also hold a Master of Education/Cognitive Studies in Literacy from Widener University and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Gwynedd Mercy University.
Reading is one of my all-time favorite pastimes - especially when I can do so in the hammock with my little pup Rocky, and I hope that we can talk about some of the great books you have read. I also love a good road trip and really love all the snacks that come with that (dots and kettle-cooked chips are the current forerunners - again for your trivia night advantages).
I am looking forward to this school year, getting to know you all better, and watching you develop into smarter and more glorious humans than you are already!
