Educational Background: Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education – English from University of Pittsburgh Johnstown and Master of Arts in English Literature from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Years in Profession: I have been in education since 2019, spending five years in brick-and-mortar schools and two years teaching in a PA cyber school. In 2026, I took an exciting step into Early Intervention as a Special Instructor. This role allows me to bring together everything I know about how people learn with the real-life, everyday lessons I’ve learned as a mom to support children and families.
Family Life: When I am not working, I am being a mom to my one-year-old daughter. Our favorite activities are daily walks, reading, singing and dancing, and playing. We also love to cook and try new recipes together. Most of all, my daughter loves to visit her family and friends, especially her pals at Beginnings!
What I like best about the work I do: I chose to transition to Early Intervention because I am an avid believer in moms supporting each other and their children. Being a stay-at-home mom for the first year of my daughter’s life ignited my passion for early childhood development. It gave me a deep love for teaching babies and toddlers, and it taught me so much about how to guide big emotions, behaviors, and learning milestones. I love using my unique background in both structured education and hands-on parenting to empower families as they navigate these critical early years.
