    I have been teaching for 20 years.  I began teaching at Ephrata Middle School for one year.  Then I taught elementary learning support students at Southwest Elementary in the Lebanon School District for five years.  I joined the Elizabethtown Area School District in 2007 as a librarian at Rheems Elementary and Fairview Elementary.  From 2011-2014, I taught second grade at Mill Road Elementary.  Now I am excited to be back in the library at Bear Creek.

    I was born in.... 
    Carlisle, Pennsylvania
     
     
    I went to school/college.... 
    I went to Boiling Springs High School which has a unique nickname - The Bubblers!

    I went to Kutztown University and got my undergraduate degree in Special Education and Elementary Education in 2000.  I went back to Kutztown University and earned a Masters Degree in Library Science in 2005.

    I am going to Clarion University now to get another Masters Degree in Instructional Technology.

     
    My family.... 
    I met my husband Chad at Kutztown when we were attending as undergrads.  We have been married since 2003.  We live in Lebanon with our daughter, Molly, who is going into 9th grade this year.
     
    My favorite teacher .... 

     It would be hard to pick my favorite teacher, because I have had so many.  Two teachers that I remember fondly are my first grade teacher Mrs. Greider, and my fifth grade teacher Mr. Weidner because they both were passionate about learning and shared that excitement with their classes.

     

    If I were not a teacher.... 
    I would be a book editor or work with people in some way.  I cannot imagine NOT being a teacher!
     
    I became a teacher because.... 
    I have always loved learning and helping others to learn about things.  I really love being a librarian because I get to help others find information and I get to share my love of reading with others.
     
    What I want you to know about me.... 
     When I am not teaching, I enjoy reading books!  I also like to cook and bake with Molly.  Sewing is another one of my hobbies.  I enjoy running and other exercise with friends.  I am a Philly Union soccer fan and also enjoy watching the Eagles and Phillies with Mr Hibshman.
     
     
    I love to vacation.... 
      I love the beach, but especially like going to Long Beach Island, New Jersey and to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
     
     
    I would most like to meet....
