At which school in the district do you teach? I am the newest Assistant Principal at Stroudsburg High School working with Head Principal Sodl and Principal Gangaware. When did you begin working in education? I initially worked as an audit accountant in Philadelphia but eventually realized I wasn’t fulfilled in that role. This led me to pursue a career in education. I returned to school at Millersville University, where I earned my certification in Technology Education and completed my Master’s degree in Educational Technology. Did you educate somewhere prior to SHS? Where? For nearly the past decade, I have been teaching at Easton Area High School.
