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. 

Students in the seventh grade will be learning about how federalism works in our American system of government. Students will be able to explain to another how powers are shared between the federal, state, and local governments, and will be able to discuss how different branches of the federal government check each other's power to prevent tyranny of any one branch. Students will also learn what the original seven Articles of the U.S. Constitution achieved and why there was such as great need for a bill of rights in our U.S. Constitution. Students will also learn how a federal bill becomes a law. In addition, students will have a sound understanding of the first ten basic freedoms contained in the Bill of Rights. Finally, students will have a specific knowledge of the rights and responsibilities of American citizens, including a citizen's role in society and in government.
