Biography
I am an assistant professor of Teacher Education and Clinical Practice. This is my fourth year on the faculty at Temple. Before that, I was a doctoral student here pursuing my doctorate in Math and Science Education, graduating in May 2020. Prior to coming to Temple, I was the Math Interventionist and Department Chair at a cyber charter school. I live in West Chester, PA with my husband, who is a retired middle school band director. We have 3 grown children and three grandchildren.
