With eight years of experience in social work and currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Special Education, I’m dedicated to supporting each student’s growth and well-being.

I grew up in Erie and am a proud graduate of East High School. As a parent with two children in our district—my daughter in 8th grade and my son starting kindergarten in an autistic support classroom—I deeply value creating a nurturing and inclusive environment.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, attending concerts and comedy shows, spending time outdoors, volunteering with local organizations and traveling to new places. My American Bully, Maggie, also brings a lot of joy to our family.

Looking forward to a fantastic year ahead! Feel free to reach out to me at jpaterniti@eriesd.org.
