Hello everyone!
In June 2014, I graduated from Richland High School in Johnstown, PA as salutatorian. I loved learning and had some great teachers. I participated in Technology Student Association 7-12, Reading Team 7-12, Marching Band 8-12, Concert Band 5-12, County and District Bands, 54th P.V.I. Civil War Reenacting 4-12, flute lessons 11-12, piano lessons 2-11, RHS Talent Shows 9-12, French Club 9-12, and National Honor Society 11-12. For hobbies, I read books, sewed dresses & costumes, and designed houses.
In May 2017, I graduated from California University of Pennsylvania in California, PA as summa cum laude with a major in Secondary Education, concentrating in English 7-12. Being enrolled in Penn Highland dual-enrollment in high school, I was able to graduate a year early from college. I also completed my student teaching at Bethlehem-Center Area High School teaching 10th graders English.
Before I was hired as Family & Consumer Science/ Agriculture teacher at Mt. Union Area Jr.- Sr. High School in July 2017, I gain certification in Library/ Media and FCS. By January 2018, I was certified to teach Agriculture. My first year of teaching I taught multiple levels of FCS, two sections of Early Childhood, and a section of an agriculture course of Food Science. The following year at Mt. Union, I taught two agriculture classes including Food Science and FFA Leadership & Communications, as well as my multiple levels of FCS. After two years at Mt. Union, I left to relocate to DuBois, PA, the area my husband grew up in.
For 2019-2020 school year, I am the high school librarian and teach Careers in Business & Leadership and Careers in Business Ownership. I am an advisor to DAHS Book Club where students read books and compete at local and regional competitions. In the future, I will be starting the FCS program at DAHS.
