Johnstown, PA
I became a teacher to inspire today’s youth to reach new heights and believe that they can be anything that they want to. I want my students to know they are valued and cared for, that I believe in them, and that they should believe in themselves.
Personal Bio
Outside of the classroom, you will find me spending time with my husband, our children, dogs, and cat. I love all things Pittsburgh, but especially the Steelers. I am a lover of animals, fall, Halloween, Christmas, dance, fashion, sports, pink, crafts, shopping, and Disney. Some interesting facts about me include: I prefer dessert over dinner, I have way too many jean jackets, and I’m married to my high school sweetheart. “One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.” -Carl Jung
