I worked in the business field for several years. After I married John, he encouraged me to quit my job and return to school to obtain my teaching certificate in Business Education.

As I continued my education, I substituted at Covenant Academy in the Town of Tonawanda, along with a couple public school districts. After graduation from Daemen College, I began my teaching career at Covenant Academy, teaching PreK through 8th grade students basic computer and word processing skills in the computer lab. I developed a scope and sequence for each grade level through researching the NYS Learning Standards and the National Education Technology Standards (NETS). Eventually, I earned the title as a Technology Integration Specialist, working with the teachers in teaching them how to integrate technology into their curriculum.

My Master's degree has enabled me to teach teachers as well as students. I have taught at two conferences as well as a few staff development workshops. The workshops I have led were teaching teachers how to integrate technology into classroom curriculum and designing WebQuests.

I am looking forward to my second year at St. Matthew Lutheran School. I am very excited about this year. It will be full of changes from last year as our students will learn how to use the computer for their school work as well as the teachers learning the computers to teach their lessons.
