I taught for 28 years, 8 years in a private school and 20 years in the public school environment. In my teaching journey, I have taught Art Education to grades K to 5, 4th grade, and 1st grade. A few of the years in 1st grade were in a literacy intervention class which I enjoyed immensely. 1st grade has been the most rewarding experience of my career.

I am dual certified with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in both Elementary Education and Art Education. I am a Hard of Hearing adult. I have taken courses in American Sign Language which enables me to bring another dimension to my classroom and my life.
I currently live in Toms River, NJ. My husband passed away suddenly in 2013. We were married for 40 years. He was my high school sweetheart and remains my forever love. We have two awesome children with wonderful spouses. We are the proud grandparents of four beautiful grandchildren!
