Educational Director

I attended Millersville University for Elementary Education with a emphasis on Early Childhood.  Upon graduating I substituted around the county before teaching at Lebanon Catholic School for 3 years.  I taught 5th, 3rd, and 1st grades. I married my husband Chris and we started a family.  We have 3 beautiful children Mia 9, Talia 6, and Dominic 4.  My girls currently attend New Covenant Christian School in 3rd and 1st grade.  Dominic is attending Jack and Jill Preschool in the 3’s classroom.  I was so impressed with Jack and Jill Preschool I decided to join the staff last year. When I’m not busy running around my kids to their activities and all the cooking, cleaning, and picking up is done, I love to sit down, relax and watch a good show or movie on TV.  We have 1 dog Jagger, 3 rabbits, a few chickens, and some fish.  We attend St. Benedict the Abbot Catholic Church in Lebanon and I teach the 2nd grade in the religious education program.
