This is my eighth year here at Steelton-Highspire! In my classroom we will be investigating, analyzing, and examining various aspects of Human Geography and Micro-Economics.  I'm excited to add Google Applied Digital Skills to my teaching schedule.  In addition to having a PA Teacher Cert in Social Studies, I am also a certified Technology Coach and Google Educator.

          I challenge my students to engage and discover through classroom discussion and hand-on activities.  My curriculum uses a collection of educational technology websites, including Google Classroom.  We are fortunate to live in a country with many freedoms and opportunities, and it is my goal to impart the how and why of this to the next generation.   

           

           Prior to coming to Steelton-Highspire, I had the opportunity to teach for a variety of school districts from urban to rural. Some past positions held include US History & World Cultures at Hempfield High School, Digital Literacy at Red Lion Area Junior High, and Middle Level Teacher for Lebanon's Migrant Education Summer Program.  Additionally, I worked in the banking and retail industries for ten years prior to pursuing teaching. Lastly, I earned my Master's in Education in Educational Technology at York College of Pennsylvania.
