I am originally from Chicago, and my husband and I relocated to South Jersey about 12 years ago! I attended North Park University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education.  I earned a Master of Education in Instructional Leadership from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I served the students of Chicago for several years before making the move to New Jersey! In October of 2017, my husband and I welcomed our daughter, Jyothi. This will be my 12th year at Stratton and this has become my home sweet home! 

My favorite thing to drink is black coffee (breakfast blend to be exact...haha)! :)

My favorite animal is an elephant (I love all things that are elephants... I get this from my dad)! :)

Chicago is my favorite place! (Love going back to see my family & friends!)

My favorite food is pizza (love a good thin crust pizza)!... O yeah and ice cream (Latteria is only THE best ice cream EVER!!)

Student of the Week

Every student will have the chance to be Student of the Week in our classroom. During that week we will be celebrating your child in many ways! Here are some of the things that we will be learning about your child! I will use myself as an example…  

My favorite color is red. 

My favorite thing to do is travel! (My family and I LOVE going to visit new places and see new things!)

When I grow up I want to be… a mom! Aside from teaching, I can’t imagine myself having any other job other than being a mom... and now I am one! :) 

If I had one wish it would be… for my kiddos to love learning as much as I love teaching.
