-This is my ninth year teaching, and my seventh year in Parma at PV. -This will be my fifth year in 2nd grade STEM, I previously taught 4th grade and Special Ed. -I am a NORMANDY High School graduate. -I earned both my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education and Masters in Education at Baldwin-Wallace. -I am the Head Cheerleading Coach at Notre Dame College. -During the 2014-15 school year I completed my Administrative Internship and earned my Principal's License--in the future I would like to be a building Principal! -I have a Lab/Beagle Mix named Bentley who I love very much. -I LOVE warm weather, being active, and Cleveland sports (I am a HUGE Cavs fan!) -I enjoy traveling, Punta Cana and Nashville have been my favorite trips so far! -As a teacher, technology is definitely my specialty--I am happy to support parents and families in learning/better understanding what we use. -Last but not least, I LOVE STEM and feel that project-based learning allows the highest levels of thinking to occur in the classroom--nothing is more rewarding than watching my learners proudly describe the products they've created throughout each unit! :)
