​I grew up in New York City and received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Columbia University. I started my career in social work providing short and long term outpatient psychotherapy services to children and families at one of the largest teaching hospitals in Brooklyn. I then spent several years working as a Child Study Team social worker and providing counseling services to inner city elementary and middle school students in the New York City school system.

After moving to central New Jersey, I returned to work in the South Brunswick School District in 2002. I spent my first year working at Crossroads North Middle School, followed by two years at Constable and Monmouth Junction Elementary Schools working as the Child Study Team social worker.

In 2005, I was excited to be offered the opportunity to move into the role of Student Assistance Counselor to continue my work, at Monmouth Junction, supporting the academic and social/emotional growth of students. Most importantly, I continue to be thrilled and proud to be a part of the Monmouth Junction School community. I invite you to explore the different pages of my website. Of course, please reach out to me at the Monmouth Junction School if there is anything else I can provide you with or do to support you and your child!
