What’s been happening:

I graduated from Penn State in March 1972. Since then, I have had two major careers, one in education and one in corporate America. I spent eight years employed as a Program Officer with the Pew Charitable Trusts. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I will always cherish, especially my work in support of private historically black colleges. I will eventually retire as an educator, which is indeed my first love. In addition to teaching in the classroom for over 20 years, since 2003 I have also worked as a New Teacher Coach, in which I am responsible for coaching and mentoring new teachers to the School District of Philadelphia. In 2002, I became one of the district's first National Board Certified Teachers. My experience at Penn State not only gave me a great education, but lifelong friends, especially the members of the Delta Gamma Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
