I currently live in central Pennsylvania, approximately one hour north of Harrisburg and three hours directly west of Caldwell University. I’ve been teaching since I graduated from Elizabethtown College in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1997. My undergraduate degrees include a B.S. in Elementary and Early Childhood Education and a B.A. in Communications. I have a masters degree in reading from Bloomsburg University and am certified in Art K-12, Library Science K-12 and ESL K-12. I taught in the regular classroom in fifth and third grades for 18 years and am currently a library media specialist in an intermediate school servicing grades three, four, and five. I earned my D. Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and have been teaching part-time at the college level for over 14 years. I began working at Caldwell University in 2018 and teach courses for the ESL Certification program.Some of my hobbies include reading, traveling, and spending time with my family, which consists of my husband, our five children ranging in age from 16 to 26, two dogs, and a cat.
