I graduated from Messiah College in 2011 with my B.S in Family and Consumer Sciences K-12. My parents are graduates, so I always wanted to attend. Thankfully, Messiah is one of three colleges in Pennsylvania that has FCS!

My desire is to become the best FCS teacher I can be. This past May I received my
M.D. from Gwynedd Mercy in education. I am continuing to take courses in special education in order to better serve my students. At the middle school level all students take FCS. My classroom can include a student with Autism, emotional disturbance, gifted with a disability, etc. I have only taken one generic course in special education.

In my spare time I love to practice yoga and read. Teaching can be draining as an introvert, so both of these activities are necessary!

Being involved in church is a big part of my life. I serve as a youth group leader or Thursday night for high school girls and am part of a young adults group on Wednesday nights.

I have been a middle school Family and Consumer Science teacher for 5 years for the Pennsbury School District. Our curriculum includes sewing, cooking, financial literacy, laundry, nutrition, and careers. I love what I teach because I am able to my prepare my students to be independent in the future by learning life skills.
