I believe that all students learn differently and at their own pace. My job as a teacher is to identify each student’s learning styles and to incorporate them into the curriculum. I realize that all students develop at different rates. I provide a positive learning atmosphere where students are comfortable taking risks while striving for success.

I received my NYS teaching certification from The State University at New Paltz in 1992. In 1996 I received my Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Western Connecticut State University. I also have a Bachelor’s Degree from State University of New York-Albany in Business Administration and Management.

I have been an elementary school teacher in New York State for over 20 years.

I enjoy coaching youth sports, especially baseball and basketball. I also enjoy reading and traveling with my family. My latest hobby is designing educational websites for parents, students and teachers.
