Welcome to the new school year! I am the Supervisor of Early Childhood. Prior to this role, I had been the Preschool District Social Worker in the district since 2006. I earned my bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Montclair State University and my master's degree in Social Work from Rutgers University.  I attended the New Jersey Expedited Certification for Educational Leadership Program (NJEXCEL). I hold my NJ Supervisor, School Principal and School Social Worker certificates. I'm also a dually licensed social worker in the State of New Jersey and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Our early childhood program is the gateway to each child's educational journey. We understand the importance of creating and nurturing connections with children and families. This helps set the tone for the next 15 years in the school district as we fulfill our district mission of "Pursuing Excellence One Child at a Time".

I am looking forward to getting to know you and your children. Feel free to give me a call or email me.

Here's to a great school year!
