I am very excited to say this will be my first year here at Star Hill.  I originated from Pennsylvania where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from West Chester University in 2008.  I moved around with my military family, which brought me to Delaware.  I have taught Kindergarten for the past 5 years in a neighboring district.  During those 5 years my husband and I had a daughter, Samantha, and a son, Logan.  Star Hill is where my children will attend and I am proud to say I will be a part of that educational family too.  I am honored and very excited to get started with my new family!  

This is my fifth year teaching, but my second year at Star Hill Elementary. I'm originally from Upstate New York, but have lived in Delaware for 5 years now because my husband is in the Air Force. We have an adorable son named Cooper and I can only hope he will experience his school years a part of the Caesar Rodney Family. I have my bachelor's in elementary regular and special education from a small college in upstate New York called Keuka College. I have my masters as a reading specialist from Wilmington University. I have taught fifth grade for the past 4 years and this is my first year as a first grade teacher! I love being a part of the Star Hill Family! Over my few short years of teaching, my students have taught me more about my passion for teaching than I can ever teach them in a school year! Each year I welcome children into the classroom for them to leave a part of my heart.

I began my teaching career in 2012 after graduating from Kutztown University. I spent the next 5 years teaching third grade and kindergarten in Warminster, Pennsylvania. Fourth grade brought me to Delaware and I am very excited to continue my career in first grade at Star Hill! When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy music, being with my family, days at the beach and relaxing with my dog, Leo!
