AuthorWelcome Back! I am glad to have you in class. For those of you who do not know much about me, let me first say that I have lived and taught in Westmoreland County since 1994 and am proud to be a part of such a GREAT school system. I originally came here from Pennsylvania where I received my BA in English from the University of Pittsburgh and St. Bonaventure University. I then received my MEd in Curriculum and Instruction from Gannon University. I taught at W&L for 10 years before going to the middle school for over 8 years from 2007-2015. As of August, 2015, I have made my way back home: to W&L! I look forward to many more years here in the system with my family and friends and feel fortunate to call Westmoreland County home.
