Profession:
Instructional Technology Coach (Temporary Position) 7th grade computer teacher (Permanent Position) Crestwood School District 281 S Mountain Boulevard Mountain Top, Pennsylvania 18707 (570) 474-6728

Personal Narrative:
I hold a Bachelor and Masters from Bloomsburg University, starting my teaching career in high schools and business schools in Pennsylvania. My life changes took me to Alaska in the early 80s. While in Alaska, I taught in an alternative high school in Juneau, and was also an Assistant Professor in Office Administration at the University of Alaska, Juneau. Technology in education was moving much faster in Alaska than in the lower 48; Alaska had oil money and a healthy education budget. By the mid 80s I was teleconferencing college classes, emailing, and teaching application software on Macs and PCs. After nine years and three daughters, my husband and I packed our bags in the pacific northwest and moved to State College, Pennsylvania where my husband earned a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction at Penn State University. In State College, I taught in post secondary business schools for several years. My family moved from State College to Mountain Top, Pennsylvania returning to my Northeast Pennsylvania roots in the early 90's. For several years, I taught in business schools and community colleges before accepting a position as a middle school teacher in the Crestwood School District.

My husband is a professor of Education at King's College, in Wilkes-Barre, PA. I have three daughters: Laura, a Columbia University graduate, is an assistant athletic director as well as the Head Softball Coach at the John Jay College, City University of New York; Tess, a Loyola University Baltimore BS and MS Psychology graduate, is a research assistant in the Psychiatry Department at Johns Hopkins University Hospital; Elizabeth, a student-athlete at the University of North Carolina, is majoring in Communication and minoring in both Spanish and Drama is also a two time national field hockey champion.
