Welcome to the Culinary Arts! I am excited to get to continue getting to know the students here at Westwood Regional.
This year will be a fresh perspective of the curriculum and continuously settling into the renovated kitchen classroom!
2020 marks my third year teaching at WWRSD. I received my Bachelors in Family and Consumer Sciences from Messiah College, PA. My previous jobs--including working in a commercial kitchen/bakery and even being a toddler teacher--have provided me with experience and knowledge that I am more than excited to share with my students! Out of all the FCS subjects, foods is my favorite!
