I have been a teacher in the Diocese of Rockville Centre for thirty-two years, as well as spending ten years in the business world. My experience in retail and non-profit organizations has enabled me to better prepare my students for the world they will enter after they complete their education.  My degrees include a BA in Social Studies from Molloy College, an MS in Reading from Hofstra University, and an MBA from Adelphi University. 

For the past twenty-five years, I have been the second grade Arts and Crafts teacher for the Summer Program in the Garden City School District. Ten years ago, I began to work for SCOPE as an instructor for the PSAT, SAT, and ACT exams in the Smithtown and Hauppauge School Districts, and enjoy this opportunity to work with high school students who are in the midst of their college plans. This interaction has helped me to create learning activities that will prepare my 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students for their future endeavors. 

I am married an am blessed with a daughter. I have been her mentor as she navigated her academic years; watching both her struggles and successes has made me a a more understanding and patient teacher.
