Meet the Teacher

BACKGROUND:

High School:   Norwin School District

Bachelors:      Westminster College

Masters:        Gannon University

TEACHING EXPERIENCE:

Being a former Norwin Knight, I am thrilled to be teaching in this district.  I started in 1999 at Scull School, which was my alma mater!  Then when Hahntown opened I moved right in! 

PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION:

I found through my experience as a classroom teacher that building a relationship with your students is the key to learning. When a teacher provides his or her students a safe environment that displays respect for one another, trust, love, and communication, that teacher is showing their students that they care and want the best for them. Those attributes are key in building relationships with students.  Once those relationships are established the learning process begins.

ABOUT ME:

My husband Keith and I also live in the Norwin area.  We have a daughter, Hannah.  She is also a Norwin Knight.  Being a mom keeps me busy, but I also enjoy family time, reading, cooking, shopping, music, sports, theater and being outdoors.
