About the Teacher

Hello! I can't wait to start my fifth year at St. Mary Magdalen School! Third grade will be amazing!  I have been teaching for over 20 years! My teaching experience includes PreK through 8th grade. I have taught in Catholic Schools and Public Schools, but my heart is in teaching in Catholic Schools. Teaching in a Catholic School is a blessing. I enjoy helping children to learn and grow academically and spiritually in a Catholic environment.

Having grown up in Springfield, I attended St. Kevin School and Cardinal O’Hara High School. Following high school, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education with Certifications in Early Childhood and Elementary Education at Cabrini College (then University and now closed 🥲). I continued to Widener University to obtain my Masters in Education with English Certification. After staying home with my children for many years, I returned to teaching and attended St. Joseph’s University to obtain my Special Education Certification.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family.  I love visiting the Outer Banks (OBX), Jersey shore, and the Poconos. Also, I enjoy reading, visiting historical sites, and watching my favorite teams: the Eagles and the Phillies! 

My family and I live in West Chester where we have raised 5 children: 4 boys and 1 girl.  We have a granddaughter and grandson! Haven and Rowan are a blessing to our growing family.  We also have a dog, Simba and a cat, Kitty, but my favorite animal is the turtle! 

I enjoy going to see my students and former students play in sports and perform in the plays. So, please share their schedules throughout the year and I can go cheer them on! 

I am looking forward to having a terrific year in third grade!
