Welcome to my WEBSITE!

Hello. I am a graduate of Montclair State University and I've been a professional in my field since 1999.  I've been with the Westwood Regional School District since September, 2006 and over the course of my career have had the pleasure of working with a variety of student populations of varied severity, and in multiple settings, i.e. early intervention, private and public schools and private clinic.  In the educational field, my roles are many:  teacher, therapist, evaluator, collaborator, facilitator, communicator, consultant, parent partner, role model, but of these, my single, most important role is to help every child succeed by maximizing his or her potential, and this could not be done alone.  I have been blessed to work with wonderful administrators, colleagues, paraprofessionals and last, but far from least, parents as partners.  In unity there is strength. Together we can ACHIEVE!
