Teaching and learning is an absolute passion of mine! I am so excited to work with you and your child this year as our Kindergarten Basic Skills interventionist at Sewell School. I thought that you might like to know a little bit more about me.

I am married to my wonderful husband, Mark. We have an eight year old golden retriever, Nittany. We moved into our new home in Gloucester Township, New Jersey in September of 2018. We both love sports, spending time with our friends and traveling when we can. Most of my free time is spent with my little family, but some things that I enjoy are long walks down every aisle at Target and HomeGoods, reading a good book on the beach in North Wildwood, going for rides in Mark’s jeep with the roof off and the radio up, and spending time in the woods at the dog park with Nittany.

I believe in the importance of lifelong learning. I graduated from Elizabethtown College with my degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Social Work. I have also earned my Masters Degree in School Administration from Rowan University.

This will be my seventeenth year teaching in Mantua Township. For three years, I taught Kindergarten at Sewell School and previously, I taught First Grade at Centre City School for 13 years. I am extremely excited and enthusiastic about my new role this year in helping to develop our Kindergarten Basic Skills program. I am looking forward to helping all of our Kindergarten students learn and grow this year!
