Anne Matov
I grew up in Erial, New Jersey. I received 
a Bachelor’s degree in
Elementary Education, Special Education, and American Studies from La Salle
University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I later earned my Master’s degree in
Reading from Towson University. Teaching has been a calling ever since I was
very young. I began my career as a special education teacher for 6th,
7th, and 8th graders in the Philadelphia School District. Four years later, I
moved to Baltimore, where I continued teaching middle school students Reading
and Language Arts at Pikesville Middle School. This is my second year
teaching at Timonium Elementary School as a Resource teacher. Last year, I had
a wonderful school year, and I look forward to seeing my students again after
the long summer break! I am married with one child. In my spare time, I enjoy
reading, working out, traveling, and spending time with my family.

I grew up in Baltimore County. I went to
college at Cabrini University in Pennsylvania and received my B.S. in Special
Education and Elementary Education. I received my M.Ed. from Loyola
University of Maryland in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on
Mathematics. I started my teaching career in 2001 as a self-contained
special education teacher. I later went into an inclusion teacher role
where I worked with intermediate students. I then left special education
to teach 5th grade for six years. I am excited to return to special
education field and work with the students and families of Timonium
Elementary! I am married and have a four year old daughter who keeps me
busy! I enjoy spending time with my family, reading and going camping.

It has always been my passion to create a
quality public school environment, where students feel safe, appropriately
challenged, and they value learning. I attended Penn State University to
earn my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education and had the unique
experience of student teaching in Bognor Regis, England. I worked for
Montgomery County Public Schools as a second-grade teacher in my hometown of
Rockville, MD for four years, then decided to make the move to Baltimore County
and start a family with my husband who was born and raised here. We have
two kids in BCPS, and we spend our weekends outside, exploring this beautiful
area with them.
Teaching at Timonium has given me the
opportunity to build on my instruction of reading at various levels within
elementary school. I taught fifth grade for four years, then made the
jump to first grade for another four years. In 2017, I was grateful for the opportunity
to move into the role of Reading Specialist after earning my Masters in Reading
from Loyola University.
I love working in an environment with motivated educators who value
collaboration and reflection. The students here constantly push me to
evaluate best practices and challenge me to think about literacy in new ways!
Diane Berry
Hello. My name is Diane Berry and I 
am a
Paraeducator here at Timonium. I started
working for Baltimore County Public Schools in 2006 as the Kindergarten
Assistant at 7th District Elementary School (Yes, in the Hereford Zone. Loved those
Hereford Zone closings!!). In 2013, I
was hired as a Paraeducator to work with students with special needs. In 2015 I was transferred to Timonium
Elementary and I have to say “This school has amazing children, parents and an
energetic staff.”
I have 3
wonderful children (actually young adults) who are working towards their
degrees in college. I like to stay busy and have several part time jobs and volunteer
at an animal shelter. I enjoy the beach,
trying new recipes, going to church, spending time with loved ones and when I
have time reading a good book. I am so
blessed to be here at Timonium and look forward to another school year.
Grace Ju
I was born and raised in Maryland. I graduated 
from Liberty
University in VA. I am thankful and beyond blessed to work at Timonium
Elementary School ever since 2012. I have worked within the General Education
and CALS program. I love working with students of all ages, seeing them
strive to do their best, helping each child reach their full potential and
reaching their goals.
When not in the classrooms, I enjoy reading, baking, going to the
beach, taking walks around the lake and going on adventures. From hiking to
bungee jumping, indoor/ outdoor skydiving, and love spending time with my
family also.
Colleen Harle
I earned my Bachelor’s of
Science Degree in Early Childhood Education from Towson University and
completed my Master’s of Education in Reading from Loyola University. I also
received a certificate in Educational Technology Leadership from Johns Hopkins
University. I am a certified Reading Specialist which enables me to work
with children from grades K to 12 but I truly enjoy working with our county’s
youngest students. I have a lifelong love of learning and I hope to
pass this passion onto the children who I work with every year.
I have been teaching since
1994. Before starting here at Timonium, I worked at Battle Grove
Elementary.
I enjoy spending time with
my husband and our three daughters and when time allows, I enjoy knitting,
sewing, and quilting.
