TEACHERS

This is my third year at Dover Middle School. I've been teaching for over 16 years. I have a bachelor's degree in K-8 education and am certified in bilingual education and ESL. At Dover Middle School, I teach both 7th and 8th grade. In my career, I have taught grades 1st through 8th. I also advise the Chess Club. I enjoy spending my free time with my grandsons and am passionate about math!

This is my ninth year of teaching at Dover Middle School. I graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey, with a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Education. I have always known I wanted to be a teacher, and I discovered my love for math in college. During school, math wasn't my favorite subject; however, one professor changed my outlook. My goal every year is to be that teacher for our students. I love helping students realize that math doesn't have to be scary and can be enjoyable with a different approach. I always want to help our students succeed, and I am available after school for extra help in room 120. 

I have been teaching 7th-grade mathematics at Dover Middle School for fifteen years. I graduated from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Science in Education and am additionally highly qualified in middle school mathematics. I also received my Master’s Degree in Education from The College of New Jersey. Outside of the classroom, I coach the middle school Spring Track team, coordinate the 8th Grade Moving Up Ceremony, and lead the 7th grade field trip each year.

I live locally, in Lake Hopatcong, with my husband, daughter, and son.

I have been teaching at Dover Middle School since 2008 and have had the pleasure of teaching both Math 8 and Algebra I. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Education from the University of Delaware in 2007 and my Master's degree from TCNJ in 2018. 

I live locally, in Randolph, with my husband, daughter, and son. 

I have 18 years of experience teaching middle school math and 8 years with special education math, first in Paterson, NJ, and this is my fifth year at Dover Middle School. Before teaching, I spent 21 years as an Environmental Consultant. I have an MS in Environmental Science from NJIT and a BS in Fisheries Management from Cook College (Rutgers University). 

I am married and have four children and one grandchild.

Math has always been my passion, and I believe it's not just about numbers and equations but also about problem-solving, critical thinking, and understanding the world around us. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics Education from SUNY New Paltz and have taught middle school math for 22 years. My goal is to create a classroom where every student feels comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas, and building confidence in their mathematical abilities. 

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, and gardening.

I have been teaching in Dover since 2022. In 2019, I graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Analytics and Information Technology. I later received a Master's Degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Middle School Mathematics. I currently teach 8th-grade Mathematics. It is a privilege to help students strengthen their skills before moving on to high school and beyond!
