 I am thrilled to be at Bishop Canevin and working with so many students on so many different projects in and outside of the classroom. While raising two children with my husband and us both working in Washington, DC, I was in the corporate world first, as the Director of Research and Litigation Support for a trial lawyer association while being the Managing Editor of a local monthly community newspaper. I was a paralegal studies instructor in office management at the University of Maryland and Pennsylvania State University. Once back in Pittsburgh, I began my 20 year experience as a columnist with  The Signal-Item/Trib Total Media and author of two published books, one of which is  The History of South Fayette Township available through Barnes & Noble, Target and Amazon. My love of English, Communications and History is evident with my work in developing BC’s Museum and Hall of Fame, to open in late Summer 2020. I am privileged to use my marketing and organizational background to assist in promoting the good people and actions of Bishop Canevin High School, for the “greater glory of God.”
