Miss Smith loves math! And she has an infectious way of sharing that love with her students. She is always willing to work with her students, explaining concepts in different ways, and encouraging them until the answer and how they got there is clear. She has always loved learning and can’t imagine herself doing anything but teaching. As the recipient of 13 years of Catholic education, she knows from personal experience its value and appreciates the impact that it can have on a student. She also loves Penn State, reading and going to the beach - especially Ponce Inlet, Florida. Both the best advice she ever received, and the quote that she strives to live by is "it is not about what happens in life, it is about how you deal with it.""
