I am excited to be teaching the new Pre3 class this year. I am a graduate of Beaver College (Arcadia University) with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Early Childhood/Elementary Education. I am PA private school certified for nursery through kindergarten age. However, my background is varied. I began my career with children in the mental health field, then had a career change to IT. I worked in healthcare IT until I had my children. When I returned to work I knew I wanted to work with children again. I was fortunate enough to work as an assistant here at QOA and at another local preschool. I was offered a teaching position the following year and have been at that preschool ever since. I have worked with children ages 2-5, primarily with 3 year olds the past 9 years. This will be my 10th year teaching and I am looking forward to working with the Pre3 children. On a personal note, I am a parishioner of St David parish, as well as a Queen of Angels parent. My son is a QOA class of ‘23 grad and my daughter will be in 8th grade at QOA this year. My husband and I have been married for 22 years. I look forward to being part of QOA and sharing our faith and friendship with our youngest students. I will strive to make your child’s first time at school a positive and fun experience.
