Hey There! 

Personal Life

I am an only child! 

My favorite color is red.

My favorite book is The Odyssey

My favorite food is pizza or pasta

I have three kids! Christian (11), Madison (5), and Peyton (3). 

My husband, Joe, is a firefighter for the City of Philadelphia.

We have a lot of pets! Three cats, one dog, two guinea pigs to be exact. And one day, hopefully, fainting goats!  

We are part of a Motorcycle Club where we raise money for children who are burn victims. 

Education

I completed all schooling in Vernon, New Jersey before going to The College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY for my bachelor's degree in Secondary English Education. I graduated in 2010.

In 2015, I enrolled back in school to complete my master's degree in English with Southern New Hampshire University. I graduated from SNHU in 2017.

Then, in 2022 I enrolled for the final time in school to begin my doctoral journey. I am expected to graduate in May 2025 from Gwynedd Mercy University with my Ed.D. in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

Professional

I began teaching at the college level in 2018 at Lincoln University in Lincoln University, PA. Since the start of that appointment, I have adjuncted at multiple schools, mostly simultaneously. I have worked at Union County College in Cranford, NJ, followed by Rowan College of Burlington County in Mt. Laurel, NJ. Shortly after that, I began at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA and Holy Family University, also in Philadelphia, PA. Most recently I began teaching at Penn State at the Berks County campus. In all appointments I have taught English Composition though they are not all named that. I have also taught Public Speaking, and World Literature.  

All this to say...

I love teaching. I love the relationships I get to build with my students. I learn more from them than they do from me...maybe. BUT what I want to do is teach the professoriate. I want to help those already teaching in higher education develop their skills on the various methodologies to teach across a multitude of learning styles. I want the professoriate to feel confident in their ability to effectively teach to those neurodivergent and neurotypical learners simultaneously. My goal is to educate the educators through a series of professional development seminars.
