I was born and raised in the Lancaster County area of Pennsylvania.  I relocated to Southern New Jersey in 1993 with my husband.  I graduated from Millersville University in May of 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood.  In the past 29 years of teaching, I have enjoyed interacting with preschool age children as a preschool assistant, camp counselor, substitute teacher, full-time preschool teacher, assistant director and director of a private preschool.   I am very fortunate to be part of the five star program here at the PECEC.  I have been teaching in the Pemberton Preschool program since I started at Crichton in 2002. 

I enjoy interacting with and supporting young children as they grow by exploring the world around them.  My goal every day is to make learning fun and exciting and to foster a love of learning that will last a lifetime.  I have two older children of my own.  My son is a Junior at Rowan University majoring in computer science and my daughter is a sophmore at Camden County College majoring in Psychology.  Both of my children benefited tremendously from their own preschool experiences and have achieved many academic and social successes along the way.
