Hello McKnight students and families!

I am so excited for our year together!  I look forward to learning and growing together during this year as a McKnight family.  As a Reading Specialist, I look forward to supporting your child in his or her reading abilities, and strengthening a love for reading in my students!  Not only will we challenge our brains with new skills, but we will also learn how to be responsible citizens that practice kindness and celebrate the differences that we all bring to our school community. I look forward to meeting all of my students and learning about them as valued members of our school.  

Here is a little bit about me:

• North Allegheny Senior High School - 2011 (I am proud to be a former McKnight student!)
