I grew up in Pennsylvania where I earned my undergraduate degree at Muhlenberg College, my graduate degree at Marywood University, and my second graduate degree at Clarion University. 

I served as a Special Education teacher in Stafford County Public Schools and was a third grade teacher in Manassas City Public Schools.  At Winchester Public Schools, I was the librarian at John Kerr Elementary School for five years, and now I am the Instructional Technology Coach for JKES and FDES and the Instructional Technology Specialist for the district.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, geo-caching, cycling, yoga, and spending time with my two cats, Kasha and Rinoa.  I also enjoy going to see plays, especially musicals.  During breaks from school, I enjoy traveling to different places and countries.  I have visited England, France, and Russia; however, my dream trip would be to go to Egypt and see the pyramids.
