I enjoy watching the Eagles and Sixers and am a die-hard fan! I also enjoy doing outdoor activities with my family, travelling, going to museums, singing for fun and most of all, being a mom!
My interest in teaching stems from me wanting to better the lives of children! I truly want to make a difference by educating young people to the best of my ability.

I am married with two beautiful daughters! They are my motivation for wanting to succeed in my new career as a teacher!

Through this program at Gwynedd, I hope to gain significant insight and knowledge into the world of teaching. I plan to teach high school history while going back for my PhD or EdD. I eventually would like to become a university professor!

I graduated from Philadelphia High school for Girls in 2003 and was senior class president. After that, I earned my Bachelors degree in Political Science from Temple University in 2009. During my college years, I began working in the restaurant business. I have remained in this business for the past 15 years and am now looking to make a career change! I started at Gwynedd last July and am really enjoying the program! As a result, I got my first job in education as a classroom assistant which I started this past April! I really enjoy my school and am excited to student-teach 8th grade social studies there in September!
