I attended Horsheads High School where I graduated in 2010 with an Advanced Regents Diploma.  During my last year of high school I participated in the New Visions Education and Human Services Program through GST Boces.  Through this program I took time out of my day to work with teachers in our community.

I attended SUNY Cortland for my undergraduate degree.  I graduated in the fall of 2014 with a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Education and a concentration in Social Sciences. I completed my student teaching in New York City which was a wonderful learning experience for me on a personal and educational level. I participated in many clubs and activities while at Cortland including serving as the President of the Urban Education Club, the Secretary of Kappa Delta Pi, a member of the Education Club, as well as participating in the Bridges for Kids Program and Intermural Sports including Broomball.

I have been a substitute teacher within the district since 2012 and on a full time basis last year.  This is my first year teaching and I couldn't be happier to be spending it in 4th grade!

In addition to teaching, I am also working on my Master's Degree of Education in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages through SUNY Cortland.
