Hi! Currently, I am a Special Education teacher at Twin Valley High School. I studied Elementary and Special Education at Bloomsburg University. I graduated with my Bachelors in 2012. I am certified to teach Elementary (K-6) and Special Education (N-12). I have worked as a High School Special Education Teacher for the past 7 years. I started as a co-teacher for English and History, but now have my own classroom focusing on behavioral and emotional support. I just completed my Masters of Education in Special Education from West Chester University. While a student at Bloomsburg and during the summers, I lifeguarded at a day care and worked in the classrooms for five years. I have experience working with children from infancy to senior year in high school. Additionally, I was a cheerleading coach for four years. I absolutely love working with children of all ages and abilities. In my free time, I am an avid Philly fan, reader and traveler. I love to spend time with my family and friends!
