I am so excited to spend another year in first grade. This will be my 12th year in the classroom. Besides first (which is my favorite!) I have also taught second and fourth grade. I am from Gilbertsville. A fun fact about me is that I am a twin - I have a sister named Emily! Mr. Pugliese and I have been married for seven years and we have a son named Leo. He will be 2 in December!
I attended Moravian University, where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and my Elementary Education certification in 2012.
In 2019, I earned a Master's Degree in Literacy Leadership from George Mason University. Prior to East Penn, I taught second grade in Manassas Park, Virginia.
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with Mr. Pugliese and Leo! We love going to Long Beach Island every summer, working on home projects, and watching movies.
In my free time, I love playing with Leo, running, cycling classes, and shopping. I also love coffee, dogs (especially golden retrievers!), and taking Leo to Barnes and Noble. He absolutely loves books!
