I am thrilled to be starting another year teaching in River Edge at both Cherry Hill and Roosevelt Schools.  I have taught the Math CREATE and Capstone classes, coached the Odyssey of the Mind teams, hosted a math club and coordinated the Gifted and Talented program.  I sponsor March MATHness which I launched to encourage a month of math fun.  I also have taught Math Enrichment and love to share puzzles and brain teasers!  In 2023-24, we launched our new tiered G&T programming along with a new name for CREATE ==> REignite.  

I graduated from Bucknell University with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with dual Concentrations in Operations Research and Computer Science.  I began my professional life in technology, designing and developing systems for JP Morgan in NYC in their Corporate Finance and Financial Division. I received my MBA from Fairleigh Dickinson University before changing careers to education.  I began teaching math at Bergen Community College, substituted for many years in Wyckoff, Ridgewood, and the Ramapo/Indian Hills School districts and taught both 7th grade science and 8th grade algebra.  I am the proud mother of triplet girls who graduated from college, two from the University of Michigan and one from Villanova University.  I also tutor and taught a math PRAXIS prep course at Bergen Community College.

I am excited about this opportunity with G&T Enrichment because I love math and challenging problems and am thrilled to share my love of math with your children.  I’m passionate about the subject and its related skills of problem solving and critical thinking. Students who persevere and learn to work through math problems learn valuable skills and self confidence that are transferable to many other subjects and areas in life.  We will explore all kinds of challenges, not just math related, in our enrichment classes but logic, problem solving will be the backbone of them all!
