Hello!  I began my teaching journey in New York City what seems like many years ago.  There I taught ELA and SS at an Intermediate School for six years.  After moving to Jackson NJ, I taught at Manalapan-Englishtown Middle School for three years.  I then came to Pemberton, where I began teaching seventh-grade ELA at Helen Fort Middle School for seven years. I moved to Newcomb Middle Schol five years ago and have been here ever since.  I am an avid reader,  traveler and diver and live at the end of a tree-lined dead-end with my husband and Great Pyrenees Mountain-Dog named Sophie.
