A Little About Me
I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I receive my Bachelors degree in Psychology from Slippery Rock University. I completed my Elementary Education K-6 teaching certification from Florida Southwestern. This will be my fifth year teaching and my first year here at East Elementary. I taught Pre-K for two years and 6th grade for the last two and a half years. I am so excited for all the growth and giggles that happen in 1st grade!
