I'm very excited to be working at Laurel Park again this year and with the amazing second grade team! I'm originally from a suburb outside Philadelphia. I received my bachelor's degree from West Virginia University (Let's go Mountaineers!!!) in Child Development and Family Studies and went on to complete my master's degree in Elementary Education at Towson University in Maryland. This will be my 20th year teaching, 16th year teaching second grade.
Prior to coming to Laurel Park, I taught at Reedy Creek Elementary (in Cary, NC) for seven years and a third/fourth combo class for three years in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. I have a son, Jack and a Shepard mix named Dakota. Jack will be starting 9th grade at Green Hope High School and in many stories I tell throughout the year.
