          I earned my degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Mercyhurst University.  I joined Erie's Public Schools in 1999.  I have been at McKinley Elementary since 2001. In June, I will celebrate 36 years of marriage and have 4 amazing children (Kaley, Dale, Robert, and Maggie).  I became a grandmother for the first time in 2019 to Ella!  Since then, 3 more grandchildren have arrived-Caroline, Lainey, and Greyson.  I thoroughly enjoy teaching 5th graders (even when we have challenging days).  In my spare time, I enjoy  Pittsburgh sports and sewing.  I love chocolate, reading, the outdoors, my pets, and spending time with my grandchildren.
