I earned my Bachelor's degree in Political Science at Binghamton University. While I majored in Political Science, I minored in Spanish, and can speak the language proficiently. After graduating Binghamton University, I worked on Wall St. for both the Bank of New York and for J.P. Morgan Chase. I worked in the banking divisions there for ten years, developing important life skills and flourishing professionally. At the same time, I began mentoring high school students through my local parish, and soon realized that teaching could be my true calling in life. 
      Therefore, I returned to school at night to obtain my Masters of Science degree in Social Studies Education from Queens College. I am currently certified to teach middle and high school Social Studies, and I have my Religious Certificate to teach Religion in the Diocese of Rockville Centre.

Hello 5th Grade students and parents. Welcome back to school here at St. Martin of Tours! I am excited to come back in the classroom this year, and I am looking forward to having the best school year possible. This year will bring us challenges and conundrums that we have not yet faced in education. However, with patience, courage, and faith, we will perservere over any obstacles that come our way. 

The 5th Grade is a time of exciting transition in a child's education. Your child has officially completed their elementary education at SMT and has now begun the first phase of middle school. In the 5th Grade, your child will be exposed to many exciting academic concepts, academic vocabulary words, and scientific theories, pieces of literature, and mathematical formulas this year. I look forward to being your child’s Social Studies and Technology teacher this year, and I have many exciting activities planned for the Sixth Grade, designed to heighten their reading comprehension, document analysis, note-taking, data interpretation, geography, and their stuyd skills. Students in my class will be expected to always try their best; whatever their best happens to be. We are all born with different and varying strengths and talents, and I look forward to seeing all of my students develop confidence academically, socially, and spiritually.  My goal is to have a safe and fun classroom, where students feel comfortable to focus, learn, and begin to find their own voice. If you ever have any questions or concerns for me, feel free to contact me at the school or at the email address on this webpage.
