Profile
I am thrilled to join the education department at Messiah University! Born and raised in the area, I am familiar with Messiah, seen it’s growth, and all it has to offer. Prior to teaching at MU, I worked for 15 years with English language learners in Kindergarten through adulthood in a spectrum of settings and content areas. In addition to teaching, I am a proud wife and mom to 3 fantastic children. We love reading and swimming together as a family.
