About Me

My basic social character is that of thirty year-old, rambunctious and FULL of energy, 5’3”, red haired, green eyed, sportier of retro/ colorful clothing who lives in an old Victorian house. I teach Critical Thinking, English Composition, and Effective Speech at Pittsburgh Technical Institute (PTI), and I was born in Pittsburgh, but raised in Butler, PA; I was formerly a senior high school English teacher who taught British Literature to seniors for four and a half years at Butler Area Senior High School (BSHS, Butler, PA). I have been teaching college classes since 2008, when I graduated with my Master's degree in Instructional Leadership and English.
