Biography

I was born in Reading, PA. I have three sons and three grandchildren. My grandchildren are the 4th generation to attend the Governor Mifflin School District. I am very active in terms of physical fitness. Teaching is my primary focus and always has been. I pride myself on how I connect with my students on a very profound and personal level. I tell them that it matters to me that they leave my classroom a better writer and speaker, but it is far more important to me that they leave a better person, a better version of themselves.
