Meet the Teacher

Hello and welcome back!  I'm looking forward to my 15th year of teaching and 4th year, here, at St. Dorothy's. I'm looking forward to meeting my new 5th graders, as well as, working together with you, their parents, in our upcoming school year!
A little bit about myself....... I grew up in Drexel Hill and attended St. Andrew and Archbishop Prendergast HS.  Cabrini is where I attended college and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education.  I taught at my alma mater, St. Andrew, right out of college. While there, I taught grades K, 2, 4, and 7.  Working with the upper school students as a CYO cheerleading coach and director/choreographer of the school musicals and talent shows, was another way to get to know who the students were and what they were capable of outside of the classroom . After teaching there for 11 years, my husband and I decided it would be beneficial to focus on raising our  infant twins (Anna & Kara) and 2 year old son (Paul). During this time, I taught dance at Touch of Class Dance Studio part time, catered, and subbed.  

Some interests....I love, love, love the beach!  Off season is my favorite time there. My downfalls are chocolate and coffee.  I enjoy cooking, dancing, spending time with friends and family, and my job teaching:)

May God bless this school year and may he help us to find strength, compassion, love and respect in each other and for one another.
