Hometown: Mechanicsburg, Pa.

Program: Master of Arts in English

Previous degrees: BA in English with secondary teaching certification from Shippensburg University (Class of 2013) and MS in Education from Wilkes University (Class of 2019)

Why Arcadia? I wanted a rigorous, intellectually stimulating educational experience that would also allow me flexible asynchronous and synchronous options to earn my degree, and I found that at Arcadia. I also chose Arcadia because I liked that their value system seemed in line with my personal convictions. 

What’s next for you? I will continue to teach high school English full-time while working toward broadening my horizons in the field of education.

Hobbies: I fully embrace the label of Crazy Plant Lady. I also enjoy reading, playing fetch with my dog, and traveling.
