The children are my favorite part of this job. It is a great feeling to come to work each day and try to put a smile on a child's face or help them learn something new.  

Why did you become a teacher? 

I have always wanted to be a teacher so that I could make a difference in the lives of my students.

What do you like best about your current school (projects, programs or activities that your school is a part of):

I am so fortunate to work at Manoa Elementary with a strong and committed staff. Every person who works at Manoa is a dedicated and hard-working professional. We have activities and programs that support student learning such as Science Week, PTO sponsored assemblies, after school sports and Young Author's Day. Manoa Elementary truly exemplifies the quality education that is offered to the students of Haverford Township.
