As an undergraduate, I was a recipient of a full merit scholarship named the Eugene du Pont Memorial Scholarship Award. I was also recognized as one of two Outstanding Student Teachers in Social Studies Education by the UD Center for Secondary Education.

As a graduate student, I continued my research in arts integration and social studies, and also earned a Certificate in Museum Studies.

Hobbies
When I am not teaching or tutoring, I am very active! I am into running, weightlifting, and outdoor fitness. I also sing in community choirs and love checking out local music. I used to compete in pageants and once earned the title of Miss Hockessin. I love animals; I have a cat, and would like to have a dog someday as well. I'm also a diehard New York sports fan!
