Hello! This is my fourth year teaching Pre-K at Mater Dei. I am so excited for another great school year!

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Finance from Temple University. Becoming a mother of three children lead me to change careers later in life and pursue my Master’s in Elementary Education at Gwynedd Mercy University.

When I’m not teaching, supporting, and cheering on your child in our classroom, I’m doing it on the sidelines or in the Dojo for my own kiddos!
