About+the+teacher

G.A.T.E. - K-8
I have taught in the Carlynton School district since 1975 (oh my!), with all of my teaching years spent in first grade until 2009. I then took on the challenge of Gifted Support. The students were wonderful teachers and helped me organize, plan and implement lessons and activities for the year. This is my third year in the program, and together the students and I, with help from our administration, colleagues and parents, will engage in another year of educational enrichment. Both my undergraduate and graduate degrees come from the University of Pittsburgh.I am a lifelong resident of the area, way before Carlynton was even a district. My three children attended Carlynton, and two participated in the GATE program.
