I'm very excited to be working at Laurel Park again this year and with the amazing second grade team! I'm originally from a suburb of Philadelphia. I received my bachelor's degree from West Virginia University (Let's go Mountaineers!!!) and went on to complete my master's degree in Elementary Education at Towson University in Maryland. This will be my 22nd year teaching.

Prior to coming to Laurel Park, I taught at Reedy Creek Elementary (in Cary, NC) and a third/fourth combo class in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Google it and you'll see why I was there. :-)

I have one son, Jack, who will be starting 11th grade this year. At home, we both love on our shepherd mix Dakota. I love walking on the local Greenway trails, audios books and paper books, trying new recipes, and catching up with friends.
