I am a third-grade teacher within the Penn Trafford School District and have been there for 14 years! I am an avid gardener, organizer, and loving dog mama too.

Teaching children and watching them grow is my passion. It is an amazing opportunity that not everyone has. Throughout the day I teach reading, math, writer's workshop, and social studies. My main goal as a teacher is to help them thrive academically, socially, and personally by setting goals. My students need to be engaged in their learning in order for it to be of interest. This means I try and use as many different types of teaching and learning as I can! My classroom is a more modern style as I use flexible seating which means the kiddos get to choose the type of chair, table, and learning space that suits them throughout the day. By implementing this technique and by making my teaching more hands-on and STEM-based my students thrive and want to keep learning. I hope to continue to add to my engaging materials in order to keep learning fun and that is why I need your help!
