• Welcome to my page! I am very excited to be teaching 3rd grade at Franklin Elementary this school year. This will be my 5th year at North Allegheny, and 8th year teaching overall. I started my teaching career in Fairfax, Virginia teaching 2nd grade, shortly after graduating from Slippery Rock University. I then moved back to the Pittsburgh area and joined the North Allegheny School District as a 3rd grade teacher at Marshall Elementary. I am excited to be joining the FES family this year and am looking forward to working with you and your child!
