Welcome to my 7th Grade Social Studies webpage. I graduated from Kutztown University with a degree in Secondary Education concentrating in History as well as a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. In my spare time, I enjoy being with my daughter, Libby, who is in middle school. I also love to read, cook, and spend time with my friends and family.
