This is my eleventh year teaching for the Bucks County Intermediate Unit. I worked as a teacher in Multiple Disabilities Support classes for five years and have been a teacher of a Specialized Learning Support classroom since 2007.
I earned my undergraduate degree in Special Education/Elementary Education from Kutztown University 2001. I completed graduate level coursework in Instructional Technology from St. Joseph's University and various grad courses from Gratz College. I received my Master's from Cabrini College with a Reading Specialist Certificate.
