This is my 18th year of teaching.  It is my fifth year at Pottstown High School. My previous 13 years I was employed at Carlisle High School (about two hours from here).  At Carlisle, I taught Applied Chemistry for all 13 years.  I also taught a course called Chemistry 1 for the first few years of my teaching career.  I was the junior class council adviser for 10 years.  Which means, I planned prom for 10 years.  I was involved with the musical (4 years) and mini-Thon (1 year) the last few years at Carlisle.  For musical, I was in charge of set design, construction and back stage crew.  Mini-Thon is a 12 hour dance-a-thon  that raises money for the Four Diamonds through Penn State Hersey Medical.  

 

 

 

 I graduated from Cedar Cliff High School.  After high school, I attended Shippensburg University (Go Red Raiders!) and earned a degree in chemistry education.   I have a teaching certificate in Chemistry, Physics and General Science.  I also have a Masters in Education Leadership from Shippensburg University.

 

I enjoy being with my family.  I love spending time with my husband (of 8 years) and various kids (step kids, nephews, nieces, God-kids) in my life.  I love photography and tie dye.  This summer I have been working on my tie dying techniques and photography.  My favorite tie dye and butterfly picture are on the right hand side.

 

I am passionate about helping young people live up to their potential and following their dreams.  I love teaching and feel I was called to do this.  I hope to impact my students' lives in a positive manor, to make them better human beings.  I love life and try to find joy in everything I do.  My favorite teaching moment is seeing a student understand a concept that they have been struggling with and seeing young people choose to do good.
