About me
I am extremely excited to be teaching Social Studies at Colonia Middle School for the 2023-24 school year.
I grew up off of Inman Avenue in Edison and I graduated from J.P. Stevens High School before attending Middlesex County College and Montclair State University, graduating with a BA in History. I received my post-baccalaureate teacher certification through Kean University, where I also earned a Masters degree in Learning and Behavioral Disabilities.
I studied abroad in Cefalu, Sicily which instilled in me a passion for traveling and learning about other cultures. I have been to Aruba, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Switzerland. In my free time, I also enjoy woodworking, mechanics, and gardening.
Please feel free to contact me at any time.
