As a 3rd grade teacher at Frankford Township School,  I consider myself to be a very lucky person.  Not only am I able to work in the beautiful Sussex County area, but I also get to spend my days surrounded by the excellent students and teachers at Frankford.  Together, we go on many wonderful learning adventures, discuss new ideas, and discover all sorts of things.  I am very proud to be a Frankford Bulldog and am also proud of all the work I completed to become a teacher. 
       The neatest thing about becoming a teacher is that I got to spend a lot of extra time as a student!  After graduating high school, I went to college at Virginia Tech where I majored in human development and human services.  Mainly, I learned a lot about the families and populations of our world and ways in which we can help different people living today.  While in Virginia, I also became a very big Virginia Tech Hokies fan.  You can check out our mascot, the Hokie Bird, lounging below!  After college, I decided to complete a Masters in Education at Seton Hall University.  It was there that I learned what it means to be a teacher and became certified as an elementary teacher in New Jersey.
       Outside of school, I enjoy spending time outdoors and taking time to read quietly.  During the summer, I work at a day camp and play for the camp softball team in the evenings.  We just won our fifth championship this past summer!  When not playing sports, I am often rooting on my favorite teams.  My two favorites are the Virginia Tech Hokies and New York Mets.  Sorry Yankee fans!
