I am a 1995 and 1997 graduate of Cal U with BS in Elementary Education and an M.Ed. in Early Childhood Education. I graduated with honors each time, and am a member of Phi Sigma Pi, a national honor fraternity, and Kappa Delta Pi, an international honor society in education. 

    I've been blessed with many, varied work experiences through the years including student teaching at California and Bethehem Center Elementay schools (fifth and second grades), being office manager for Caddie Shak in Donegal, teaching at Huntington Learning Center, being a Residence Life graduate assistant at Cal U, being a professional musician (flute and piccolo) for two years in a local concert band, and spending ten years as an Early Intervention Service Coordinator at WCSI in Greensburg before coming to the Christian Family and Children's Center.

    Currently I am employed by the Center as mainly support staff, working in the areas of transportation and food service, but I am also a substitute cook at both campus, and assist in other Center tasks and projects as needed.

    On a personal level, I am a resident of Donegal, and I enjoy listening to and making music, painting, gardening, hiking, raising animals, reading, learning and growing as a Christian, and spending time with my daughter, husband, and extended family.
