I am very excited to be part of the fourth grade team. This is my thirteenth year at Strausser! I spent the first five years teaching fourth grade, four years in fifth grade, and happily back in fourth grade. Before coming to Jackson, I spent one year teaching sixth grade in Conneaut Lake, PA, and two years as the assistant volleyball coach at Thiel College. I have a B.A. degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the College of Wooster, a B.A. in elementary education from Thiel College, and a Master's Degree in gifted and talent development from Ashland University.
