I have been an adjunct faculty member of Wilkes University since 2005. I teach technology courses in the Graduate Education Department for the Classroom Technology master's program. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Business/Accounting and Elementary Education. My Master's of Science degree is in Instructional Technology (education track) and I received my Instructional Technology Specialist Certificate in 2006. All of my education was completed at Bloomsburg University.

I was the CFF (Classrooms for the Future) Coach for three years and I am currently the 21st Century Teaching and Learning Coach (a.k.a 21st Century TLC) which now includes six elementary EETT Teachers. In addition, I am the K-12 Instructional Technology Specialist at Shamokin Area School District, and the computer teacher for Adobe Photoshop II. I have taught technology for 25 years and live in Elysburg with my husband, Bill. We have two grown children, Michael and Stacy. I have a wonderful daughter-in-law and three terrific grandchildren (Katie, Jack, and Ian) who live with my son in Minnesota -- soon to be moving to Owego, NY. Stacy lives in the Bloomsburg area with my grand-dogger Riley Jean -- a chocolate lab with laughing green eyes.
