Welcome

Hello and welcome! I am thrilled to be a part of Verona Middle School for my second year, where I teach 7th grade science. Prior to joining Verona, I taught 8th grade science at Glenfield Middle School in Montclair. Alongside teaching, I am proud to serve as the head coach of Montclair High School's freshman lacrosse team.

Teaching Philosophy

In my classroom, I work with students aged 12-13, guiding them through the wonders of science at different cognitive stages. I've observed that many students perceive critical thinking as challenging, potentially limiting their development. My goal is to make critical thinking and engineering principles accessible and engaging, fostering an environment where curiosity thrives and students feel empowered to explore and innovate.

I am dedicated to inspiring students to embrace scientific inquiry, cultivate problem-solving skills, and develop a deeper understanding of the natural world. Together, we will explore exciting scientific concepts and embark on a journey of discovery in our quest for knowledge.

I look forward to an amazing year of learning and growth with each of you!
