I am thrilled to be back at Hillside for my eighth year! This is my 10th year teaching in special education. Personally, I love to spend my time with my three year old daughter (Rileigh) and 7 month old son (Graham), with family and friends, reading, or outside either kayaking, walking, or hiking. Professionally, I received both my Elementary and Special Education degrees from Millersville University. I am currently attending Fairleigh Dickinson University, where I obtained an Orton Gillingham Certification and continue to pursue a Dyslexia Specialist Certification. In my opinion, one of the most important aspects of being a teacher is getting to know everything about your children; their likes and dislikes, their strengths and weakness, their favorite hobbies, their optimum learning style, etc. Each day I get to know my students a little bit better!
