I am originally from Pennsylvania, but currently live in Olean with my daughter, three dogs, and two cats. I graduated from Juniata College with a degree in Early Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education and later received my Masters Degree in Special Education. I have been teaching Special Education for 16 years.
Most of my time is spent taking my daughter to her various dance classes and other activities. When I am not chauffeuring her around, I enjoy working in my garden and relaxing with our animals.
I am very excited to join the CLV team and look forward to building relationships with students that foster a love of learning and growing.
