I have been a Special Education teacher in East Brunswick for three years. Prior to joining East Brunswick Public Schools, I was a Special Education teacher for the New York City Department of Education for 2 years.

I graduated from Pace University with a Master of Science Degree in Education and a

Mission:
My goal is to not only improve your child's academic skills but to also increase your child's sense of independence, self-discipline, and motivation to learn. I am so excited to spend the year with all of my students and watch them grow developmentally, socially, and academically.
Free time:
Aside from teaching, I love to spend time with my family and friends, travel, cook, design party decorations, and go for walks!
