Background:
I have been teaching for 25 years at most grade levels from Pre-K through second. I hold Bachelor ‘s Degrees in Human Resources from Cabrini College. I am Pennsylvania State Certified in Elementary Education I earned a Master of Education from Cabrini College. I received my Montessori Certification from Chestnut Hill College. I taught first grade for Horizons this past summer. Horizons helps low income students build the gap between summer and school. I am committed to my Catholic faith and the mission of Catholic Schools. St. Patrick is much more to me than a school; it is a big, Christ-centered family.
Personal:
I come from a large Italian family. I enjoy spending time with my cousins, niece and nephews. I volunteer for the Junior League of Philadelphia and the Saturday Club. These two organizations have allowed me to build leadership skills while helping the underserved community. I enjoy going to Ocean City New Jersey in the summer, I also love working out cooking and gardening.
One Thing I Want Parents to Know:
I am so excited to be a part of the St. Pat’s family! I absolutely loved the tradition and community environment of Catholic schools I attended, and I have always wanted to teach in the same setting. I truly believe that the early elementary school years are a vital time in building one’s faith and discovering who Jesus is. I am beyond thrilled that I get to teach at a school where God is alive in our everyday lessons and conversations.
