Teaches: Health Tech

What do you think about being voted “Teacher of the Month”?

“I was surprised and shocked. I think in comparison to other teachers and the adjustments to having a baby, I used to be here early and stay late, but now I haven’t spent as much time here. It’s all about balancing”

How long have you been teaching?

“I have been a teacher since 2004.  I was the assistant in the Health Tech program for 6 years prior to getting my certification and master’s degree.”

What is your favorite thing about teaching?

“I love working with students and sharing my love of medicine”.

If you weren’t teaching, what would you be doing?

“Bishop Guilfoyle”

Where did you attend college?

“I attended Mount to get my nursing degree and then I went to Penn State to receive my masters and teaching certification”.

What is your favorite song?
