I am a graduate of Cabrini University with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education. I was lucky enough to begin my career in a technology classroom, and have enjoyed being a “tech geek” ever since. Through the years, I have kept current with innovations and trends. I am constantly in awe of the possibilities that the future holds. It is exciting to be at Saints Simon and Jude School promoting technology education and forward thinking with the students and faculty.
