Favorite spot in Pittsburgh?
Great question! I am unsure. I have lived north of Pittsburgh in the suburbs my whole life. I don't ever plan on moving :)

What initially drew you to City High?
I was subbing, and teaching jobs were HARD to come by! I took the interview for practice as I had never heard of City High, so I wasn’t nervous at all and 100% myself. Three days later, I was hired. I fell in love, and you can’t keep me away!
What do you love most about working at City High?
I love looping with the students! 11th grade is the sweet spot. It takes a lot of work to get there, but when we do, it's the best year ever. I also love working with some of the best co-workers.
Best advice for City High students?
Work hard and always try your best!
