Meet the Teacher: all about me

Favorite Sports Teams: New York Yankees, New York Jets, New York Rangers, Chicago Bulls

I love spending time with friends and family.

My passion for helping others was a major factor that led me to teaching.

I love to draw, or do anything artistic.

Having fun and laughing is the only way I like to spend my time!

Education and Professional Background

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Political Science at Seton Hall University.

While working towards my Bachelor's, I was working at St. Thomas Apostle School in Old Bridge, NJ, in their aftercare program. This is where I found my passion for teaching, since a major part of my job was working one on one with students and assist them with their work and any possible struggles.

After I finished my Bachelor's, I decided to go back to school to complete the CEAS and Master's in Special Education programs at Seton Hall University.
