This is my 22nd year in education, and my teaching career has taken me all over the world! I graduated from the University of Virginia with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Elementary Teaching. My career began with two years at The American International School in Israel where I taught ESL and First Grade. Then I moved back home to Virginia where I taught Fifth Grade in the public school system for three years. International Education was calling me yet again, so for the next three years I taught KG at the International School of Tanganyika in Tanzania, East Africa. My next move landed me here in Upper Merion at Candlebrook Elementary where I taught Third Grade for eight years. In recent years I have earned my ESL Program Specialist certification and my Instructional Coaching certification. I am excited to begin my 6th year as an Elementary Instructional Coach! I look forward to supporting Upper Merion's elementary teachers in every way possible. It's gonna be a good year!
