Pennsylvania Curriculum Specialist
Getting students involved and interested in their learning process is my passion! I taught special education in public elementary, middle, and high schools for 24 years. I graduated from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania with my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary and Special Education, and received my Masters as a Reading Specialist from Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania.

I’m loving my time with Social Studies School Service. These programs are highly engaging with tons of interactive activities that enables students on all learning levels to feel successful. In addition to my love of working with teachers and students, I love spending time with my family and being a mother to my daughter and son. I am constantly attending field hockey, football, or lacrosse games for my kids. They keep me very busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I have worked hard my entire life, physically and mentally to reach my goals. I have had my own businesses for several years of my life as well as fulfilling positions working for others who have taught me so much about myself. I also have two awesome kids and two awesome step kids!
