I am so proud to be in my second year as a part of the SPS family! Faith has truly brought my family and I to this community and we are very thankful. I attended PSU (Bachelors), QU (Masters in Teacher Leadership), and Eastern U (Reading), and have lived and taught in NYC, Philly, Harrisburg, and now Carlisle-- kindergarten and 1st/2nd combined, and previously a reading specialist grades 3-5. I am thrilled to continue in 2nd grade! I am certified PK-4 and have my reading specialist certificate grades K-12. Although I am rooted in the classroom and love it most, I was also a childcare director, developed curriculum for higher education, and continue to be a lead adjunct professor with Eastern University.
My husband and I have been married 9 years and together 16. He has been in the Army for about 12 years now! We have two wonderful children. Leo is 6, attending 1st grade at Saint Pat's, and Lainey is now 3 in Pk3! We also have two doxies named Dino and Ruby. Farms, house projects, Lionel trains, stuffies, and walks are central to our daily activities! You can also see us at the basketball games while Mr. Lebron coaches! We are typically outside playing and exploring as a family. Be still and know that I am God Psalms 46:10 has been the core of our journey this past year. We are blessed He brought us here!
