Experience

I hold NJ teaching certificates in Elementary Education, Special Education, and as a Teacher of Reading. I have taken and passed the required Praxis exams, scoring in the top 15% of test takers. Throughout the course of my career I have worked with a wide range of students in grades K-12. I am currently a Kindergarten teacher at a Private school in South Jersey. Prior to accepting this position, I spent 3 years working with small groups of students ages 12-18 who were receiving educational services while in mental health programs. I have been tutoring since I was a high school student. I started out helping with homework while babysitting and branched out from there. I love watching a student when the lightbulb turns on after a valiant struggle to understand a topic. As a college student, I was part of both Golden Key International Honor Society and Kappa Delta Pi International Honor Society in Education. It was my privilege to serve as the chapter Historian for KDP. I have high expectations for all students and I am willing to help in whatever manner necessary to help them get there!

Hobbies

First and foremost, I love my family and friends. I would never be where I am today without their love and support. I enjoy spending time with them, no matter what we are doing. Reading is one of my greatest passions. Escaping into the world of a good book is a great way to alleviate stress and keep my imagination on it's toes. I'll read just about anything! I also love listening to music and attending concerts. I have fairly eclectic tastes, listening to anything from Jazz and Classical to Hard Rock. Photography, ice hockey and the beach would be my other main passions in life. I love to be behind the camera trying to capture an intriguing shot. I can often be found at the beach with my camera clicking away at the shoreline, a beautiful sunset, or the wildlife there. While I'm not big on sports, I do love hockey! I'll watch any game- any time. I'm a huge NY Rangers fan, though I'll tune in to any game on tv.
