Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!  This is my 19th year as a teacher of students with special needs.  I am originally from Roslyn Harbor, NY, which is on Long Island.  I graduated from Marist College with a BA in Psychology and a Dual Certification in Special and Elementary Education.  I also hold a MA in Educational Psychology from Marist College.  I received my first job upon graduating college at the Anderson Center for Autism in Staatsburg, NY and remained there for 6 years.  I taught in the Social Communications program at Hempstead Elementary School in the East Ramapo Central School District for 9 years.  During that time, I began taking classes to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.  I took and passed the exam in 2017 to officially receive my BCBA certificate.  I joined the Journey's Program here at Arthur S. May in January of 2020. 

I have been married to my husband Eli for 14 years and have been blessed with 3 beautiful children of my own.  Noah is 11, Luke is 8 and Quinn is 5.  They are the highlight of my life.  When I am not teaching, you will most likely find me at a field or court watching my children play soccer, baseball or basketball.  I love to spend the summers in Myrtle Beach with my family.

I am looking forward to watching your children grow and become more independent learners this year.  Together we will make this an amazing year!
