Family:  I was born on September 22 and grew up in Strasburg, PA.  My mom is a retired nurse and my dad worked in construction, building bridges. Sadly, he passed away from cancer in 2020. I have two sisters:1 older and 1 younger.  I met my husband while attending college.  We now live in Willow Street with our three children: Jackson(19), Mason(17), and Jemacyn(13).  My husband, Brad, teaches Physical Education at Martin Meylin Middle School in the Lampeter-Strasburg School District.  He is also the assistant middle school football coach there.  


Teaching: I started teaching 2nd grade in 2001 at Schaffer Elementary in the Manheim Township School District, located in Lancaster County.  The following year, I was hired to teach 3rd grade at Nottingham Elementary.  The year after that, I looped to 4th grade.  My fourth year of teaching brought me back to teaching 3rd grade again. I have been teaching third grade ever since. I love it!!


Education: I graduated in 2000 from Slippery Rock University where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education.
