This is my 17th year teaching in the Monroe Township School District, but my first year at Applegarth School. I have taught Kindergarten for five years, and second grade for nine years, and this will be my third year as the Library Media Specialist. I graduated from Ramapo College with a degree in Psychology and Elementary Education. I have obtained my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Rutgers University and I am continuing my education at William Paterson University to receive my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Learning: School Library Media.
During my career, I have had the opportunity to attend a conference at the University of Virginia where I learned a great deal about differentiated instruction. I attended a weeklong institute on enrichment-based differentiated teaching at the University of Connecticut. I have also had the opportunity to participate in several conferences geared towards Media Specialists. I believe that each child learns differently and it is best to have a differentiated learning environment. I believe that students benefit most by learning in a healthy and safe environment in which students are capable of growing physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
In my free time, I love to spend time with my family and friends. I love being outdoors! I enjoy traveling and trying new things. Some of my favorite places to visit are Europe, Disney World, Alaska, Costa Rica, and the Jersey Shore!
