Bio
I was born and raised in central Pennsylvania, graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education. Following graduation, I married and raised my two children while staying connected to education by serving as an after school tutor and part time substitute teacher. I returned to my education career full time in 2007 as a third grade teacher at Brownsville where I spent two years teaching before moving to the fifth grade. I returned to teach in the third grade in 2013. I have lived in Albemarle County with my husband and two college-aged children for the past seventeen years. I enjoy spending time with my family and participating in all outdoor activities.
