Summary
Hello! I am a recent graduate of Duquesne University, looking to start my teaching career! I attended Seneca Valley High School and was in the AP Early Childhood program. While I was at Duquesne, I had field experience at several different schools all over the Pittsburgh area, ranging from K to 4th grade! I have a passion for helping students excel in school, and making sure they enjoy the learning process. I believe I will be a great addition to your school district.
