I have taught for 24 years in the Pennsylvania Public School System. After student teaching in kindergarten, I began my career as a second grade teacher. Shortly thereafter, I became a first to second grade looping teacher. I then moved to third grade for 14 years before becoming a K-5 gifted support teacher. I have enjoyed every age level along the way! Each grade level brings so many different rewards and challenges to make life interesting.
