About Me

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
The foundation of my philosophy of education stems from a quote by Henry Brooks Adams: “A teacher affects eternity he/she can never tell where his/her influence stops.” I am a firm believer in this statement. My responsibility as an educator is to impact the lives of students on a daily basis.
I have the privilege of shaping our youth into responsible lifelong learners and eventually leaders. I take my profession quite seriously and although it can be a challenging task, it is my responsibility to reach out to each of my students and make a difference in their lives.
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
I graduated from Rowan University with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and Sociology. I earned my National Board Teaching Certification as a Middle Childhood Generalist in 2008. Lastly, in 2011 I graduated with honors from Capella University with Masters of Science in Education with a Specialization in Reading and Literacy.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
After graduating from college I earned a job as a classroom teacher for first grade. I then taught second grade for two years. I moved to Florida and taught third grade for two years and fourth grade for two years. I then moved to Alaska where I was the Reading Specialist for grades K-5.
