I graduated from Indiana Area High School in 2001 and immediately began attending IUP as a double major - special education and elementary education.  In 2005, I graduated and got my first teaching job as a secondary teacher at Milestones Achievement Center (now New Story) in Indiana, PA.  Upon the birth of my daughter at the end of 2006, I resigned from my position at Milestones, and was a stay-at-home mom until 2008 when I was hired as a learning support teacher for 6th grade at Purchase Line South Elementary.  When "The North" closed, I made a move to the High School and have been here since.  I live in Indiana with my husband, Tim, and our three daughters named Abby, Emma, and Charlotte.  We also have a dog named Milo.  I enjoy camping, gardening, cooking, and reading.
