About Me:
I am 29 yaers old and in my fifth year of teaching. My mother and father were also educators for over 35 years a piece. I have taught 4th and 5th grade, and am presently the Title 1 Reading Specialist at West Mifflin Middle School. I love my job because of the opportunity I am presented with for at the very minimum 190 days a year. Being an educator one can and should have a tremendous impact on all they come in contact with. I am currently engaged to be married June 2008. When I am not in school I enjoy pretty much all sports. I am very active in community service, and the latest thing I have taken on is dance! I guess my fiancee' thinks I need help in that area before the big day!!!
