Hi I’m Mrs. Deignan! I received BA in Family and Child Studies at Montclair State University and MSW from Rutgers University. I have my Clinical Social Work license (LCSW), as well as a Clinical Drug and Alcohol license (LCADC). Since graduate school, I have always worked with school aged youth and I love it! Prior to CJHS, I was an Elementary Child Study Team worker, an out of district school counselor for students with behavioral issues, and the supervisor of an adolescent intensive outpatient program for youth with mental health and substance use disorders. I am looking forward to working with the East Brunswick community, being an EBHS class of 2009 graduate myself!

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and family at our lake house in PA, reading, binge-watching shows, and going to the beach.
