West Chester, PA
I take pride in my ability to build relationships with both students and families. Making connections with my students and getting to know them is how I help students and families feel welcomed in a safe learning environment.
Personal Bio
I am passionate about instilling the love of learning in my students. I have had a wide range of teaching experience from special education to reading support in various grades. I live with my husband, two children (Mikey and Juliet), and dog Murphy. We enjoy traveling to the Jersey shore every summer and spending time outdoors. We also love watching Philadelphia sports teams, especially the Phillies and Eagles! I enjoy cooking, reading, exercising, nature, and spending time with my family.
