          I earned my degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Mercyhurst University.  I joined the Erie's Public Schools in 1999.  I have been at McKinley Elementary since 2001. In June I will celebrate 31 years of marriage and have 4 amazing children (Kaley, Dale, Robert, and Maggie).  I became a grandmother for the first time in September to Ella!  I thoroughly enjoy teaching 5th graders (even when we have challenging days).  Everything Pittsburgh sports, chocolate, reading, outdoors, my pets, and my granddaughter are  what I enjoy in my spare time.
