Currently, I am a science Subject Matter Expert for Lincoln Learning Solutions, developing our science and math content and curriculum. Lincoln Learning is a PreK-12 online curriculum and learning resource company. I work as an expert in the NGSS standards for science, focusing on using science phenomena, story lining, backward design to create a standard-aligned curriculum and validated assessments with a goal of content mastery and academic growth. I maintain project development and deadlines, collaborate with the media, editing, and business departments. I know the importance of building partnerships and forming positive relationships to ensure company success.

I have been married for 15 years to my husband, Michael, who works as a physical educator and a football coach on the Varsity staff at Seneca Valley School District. I am a mother of 3 busy children, Dante, Rocco, and Bella. At 12 years old, Dante is in his first year of middle school, plays hockey, baseball, and the saxophone. Rocco is 10 years old, loves football, basketball, and baseball and also plays the saxophone. Bella is a spunky 8 year old who enjoys playing soccer, being a junior bee keeper, skateboarding,and doing arts and crafts.
