Born in Detroit, Michigan and raised in the Lehigh Valley, I graduated from Catasauqua Area High School. My undergraduate studies were done at West Chester University and La Universidad de San Luis in Madrid, Spain. I received a Bachelor of Science in Special Education with minor studies in Speech Communications, Theatre, and Spanish. My Masters of Education degree was earned at Lehigh University with a focus on Behavior Disorders.
I began teaching in the Southern Lehigh School District in 2005 at Lower Milford Elementary School and moved to Hopewell Elementary School in 2016.
I am married to third grade teacher, Mr. Christopher Bonsall, and have four children.
