Hello Parents and Students!

First let me say that I have the best job in the world!  I love St Dots and I love your kids!
I have  come to St Dots with a varied background  to finally end up in my passion for teaching and educating students.  I have had  corporate business experience for many years including instructing and delivering profesional training courses, engineering, and sales.
I finally have the opportunity to do what I've wanted to do since I was 10, teach!
I am lucky enough to have been the Field Hockey coach for St Dots for 20 plus years.  Working with this age group is certainly a lot of fun!

I am very grateful to have the opportunity to work with your child(ren)!

Quick Facts:
Born in Allentown, PA
College: Bucknell University
Degree:  BS Mechanical Engineering, BA Marketing,
Resides in Drexel Hill since 1995
Field Hockey coach since 1999(just retired)

Family:  My husband ,Vince, works at Merck as an IT business analyst.  When our children attended St Dot's he was on the development committee for several years.  Our two daughters, Cali and Emily, both attended St Dot's.  Cali is a Senior at Villanova and Emmy is a sophomore at LaSalle.

Interests:  I love to travel, spend days at the beach, play tennis, sip La Colombe coffee, watch and play sports of any kind ,and cook.

Student Expectations:
My students will have to work hard and become disciplined in their approach to Math and Science.  My goal for them is to become confident in their abilities and not to be afraid to ask questions or make mistakes.  "It's not the mistake you make, it's what you decide to do next that defines you." Our brain retains much more when learning from our mistakes.  I do expect a lot from my students because they are all more capable than they believe. 

Extra Help:     I am very flexible when it comes to extra help.  
If a student  has questions on anything or would like extra help, I ask that THEY contact me via email or in class.  (Particularly 7th and 8th grade students., 5th and 6th  I understand the need for parental guidance)  This is a valuable skill for them to learn in taking responsibility for their own performance.  Let them soar and be proud!
