Hello!  

Welcome to my Teacher Profile for the 2021-2022 school year at Marshall Middle School!  This year I am teaching ELA 7, and this is my 3rd year teaching at MMS.  I have had the pleasure of being a long-term substitute teacher at NAI and CMS prior to joining the MMS family.  At the end of the day, I cannot be more thrilled to be a Tiger at NA! 

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, and I graduated from Mars Area High School before attending the University of Dayton (Go Flyers!) for college.  In May of 2017, I graduated with a B.S.E. in Secondary Education and a B.A. in English.  While in Ohio, I completed my student teaching in Englewood, OH.  Currently, I am pursuing my Master's Degree in School Administration through Point Park University. 

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, comments, or concerns.  Let's have the best school year yet!
