I began teaching at St. Martin of Tours School in Amityville as a 3rd grade teacher after receiving my B.A. in Child Study from St. Joseph’s College. As a 4th grade teacher, I began the school’s first Recorder Club. I was later appointed as both the music and computer teacher after receiving my M.A. degree in Music from LIU Post, having previously received my M.S. degree in Educational Technology there. Subsequent studies led to certificates in First Steps in Music and Conversational Solfege from the Feierabend Association for Music Education whose philosophy encourages students to be “tuneful, beatful and artful.” I enjoy performing on the violin and cello with local community groups including the Sound Symphony and West Islip Symphony orchestras and singing with the Sisters of St. Joseph.

In addition to teaching at St. Martin's, I am also an adjunct professor at St. Joseph's College in Patchogue where I have taught for many years on both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Some of the courses I've taught include math and science methods in the Department of Child Study and a variety of courses in the Department of Math and Computer Science, where I currently teach.
