About Me

SUBJECTS

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

Bringing the best opportunity to succeed to my students in the classroom is my main priority. I am able to accomplish this goal through the infusion of technology within my lessons, writing across the curriculum activities, and focusing on the student both in and out of the classroom. Through the Instructional Technology classes I am taking, I have been able to implement technology into the classroom.

I believe that writing skills should not only be taught by the English Department; rather, it should be a group effort across the curriculum to build the students’ writing skills. Finally, being an involved educator, I feel it is important to take the opportunity not only to educate my students in the classroom, but outside of the classroom as well.

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

I have graduated from Duquesne University with a Bachelors Degree in Education. I am also working on my Masters in Instructional Technology at Duquesne University. I currently substitute teach in two different school districts to gain more experience in teaching.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have experience both substitute teaching and tutoring students.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

I currently coach and play softball. Also, I am an Assistant Rowing Coach for the Duquesne University Women’s Rowing program. I love sports and being outside. I enjoy coaching and teaching others about the sports I love.
