The Penn State Alumni Association

What’s been happening:

After graduation in May of 2000, I started my teaching career in the East Penn School District. In June of 2001, I married John Francisco, whom I had been dating since high school. In November of 2003 we welcomed our daughter, Emily. Our son Hunter followed in February of 2007. I am currently a second grade teacher in the Upper Perkiomen School District. I am enrolled in the Master's of Education program at Penn State Great Valley pursuing a degree in Curriculum and Instruction, with a focus on literacy. I plan to continue my education following the completion of my master's degree by obtaining an administrative certificate. With my family, I enjoy RVing, the outdoors, cooking, musical theater, and football season in Happy Valley! I have many great memories of my time at Penn State, but the best things I have taken away from Penn State aren't memories, but friendships and continuing experiences that will last a lifetime. Best wishes to you all!
