I have been teaching for over 20 years in a variety of grades. I started my career in second grade and have taught third, fourth and sixth grades. Fourth grade was my favorite grade as a student, because my teacher, Miss Kale, shared her love of reading and learning with us. I also remember feeling that she really cared about me as a person. It has been my dream to teach 4th grade ever since. I have been at Washington Elementary since 2008.

I live in Bally with my husband and two daughters. He is a local pastor and director of the Bally Community Center. My daughters both attended Washington Elementary School and BASH. Marissa is currently at Kutztown University studying elementary education and Cassie starting her first year at DeSales University.

In my free time I enjoy reading, kayaking, hiking, traveling and going to the beach.
