My educational career spanned 16 years in a public school district in southcentral Pennsylvania. For nine years, I taught eighth-grade physical science in a middle school. I then moved into public school administration with a position as a high school assistant principal. After three years in that role, I became a middle school principal, a position I held for four years. I have a passion for teaching and leading. Throughout my time in public education, I spent a lot of time building rapport and partnerships with students, faculty, staff, families, and the community. I look forward to bringing my experience, skills, and knowledge to the School of Education at Florida Southern College.
