I hold a M.Ed. in Secondary Education with a concentration in Mathematics from Kutztown University and B.A. in Mathematics from Alvernia College.  I have 26 years of experience teaching mathematics at the secondary, community college, and university levels.  For 15 years I have taught mathematics at Kutztown University.  This is my
fourth year as a full time tenure-track employee in the Mathematics Department.  My primary teaching duties at the University involve teaching Mathematics Education courses. I serve on several university, college, and departmental committees.  I co-advise the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Student Affiliate chapter on campus.  One of my sections of MAT 021 is part of a learning community.

Through involvement in NCTM, I continue to stay abreast of changes and practices affecting mathematics education, technology in the classroom, and alternative assessment techniques.  My goal is to provide authentic, motivating, and challenging tasks for my students so they in turn will have models to utilize when placed in a classroom setting.

My husband is an elementary school teacher and we have 2 children.  I enjoy running in the early morning hours and compete in local road races.
