Hi! My name is Amanda Vogt. I graduated from Easton Area High School in 2009 as a member of the National Honor Society. While in high school, I continued my life-long involvement in cheerleading. I was captain of the Junior Varsity squad during my sophomore year and continued on to the Varsity squad. Cheerleading has taught me a lot about commitment and discipline. In my senior year, I was awarded a scholarship for scholar athlete.

After high school I attended Moravian College, located in Bethlehem, PA. Having excelled in literature and language courses throughout my college career, I knew immediately that I wanted to major in English. My love of children pushed me to also take up a secondary education certification. After declaring my major I was subjected to many great experiences in both the English and the Education courses taught at Moravian. Recently, I was inducted into the National English Honor Society, also known as Sigma Tau Delta.

Throughout college I have maintained a part-time job at a local childcare center called Cambridge Day School. I know that not many people are able to say this, but I love my job and the children that I work with. While infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers are not in my area of certification at Moravian, I feel that my experiences with these younger children have provided me with a sense of development and nurture.

As any true English major would say, I spend my spare time searching for my next good read. My nook has become my best friend during the summer! I have a special interest in young adult literature and cannot wait to utilize such works in my future classroom. I openly admit to being a huge Harry Potter fanatic! As such, I hope that every student has the opportunity to read a book that truly transports him to another world!
