A Bit More About Me
I joined the Collegium faculty in August of 2002, so this is my fifteenth year teaching Sixth Graders. I have enjoyed a variety of teaching positions before coming to Collegium. I have taught fourth and fifth grades in the Downingtown Area School District, have been a full time Mom (the ultimate teaching experience!), a per diem sub, and a tutor. I have also taught religious education for nine years, preparing Sixth Graders for Confirmation, working with a team to create a retreat, and then taking responsibility for training parent volunteers to make the experience a special one for the children. I enjoyed seven years as a teacher and trainer of new teachers, as well as a mentor teacher for Computertots. I have actually met several of my former "Tots" students here at CCS, much older and more grown up!
