Seventh Grade
I have a BS in Elementary Education from West Chester University and I am currently in my 26th year of teaching . I worked two years at St. Rose of Lima in North Wales, followed by eight years at SS Cosmas and Damian in Conshohocken. This is my sixteenth year at Conshohocken Catholic School. I currently teach Science to grades six, seven & eight, Math to grades seven & eight and Religion to the seventh grade.
My classroom goals are to provide a variety of teaching and learning opportunities through the use of hands-on labs in Science and Math, technology, varied assessments and projects, multi-media and the standard textbook. I also strive to provide a classroom atmosphere conducive to building a student’s self esteem in addition to helping develop good communicators and critical thinkers able to assimilate into their high school environment. An additional goal is to foster a group of caring, compassionate, and moral young men and women.

Our fall class trip was to the Franklin Institute to take part in the CSI Experience. Spring trips will be to Lankenau Hospital Education Center – “Life Begins” and Washington, DC, including the Pentagon (if accepted), the Smithsonian Natural History Museum and the Washington Mall area to see the Lincoln, Viet Nam, Korean, World War II and Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorials.
