I feel very lucky to be able to teach the BEST FIRST GRADE CLASS in the UNIVERSE. I have been teaching at TAES for a long time! Before teaching the first grade Smarties, I taught K4 preschool. I have a degree in Elementary and Early Childhood Education from Clarion University. I also have a master's degree in Early Childhood Literacy from Wilkes University. When I'm not teaching the Smarties, I love to spend time with my family, my dog Cooper, and my friends.
