I am originally from Long Island, NY. I moved to NC in 2009. I earned my undergrad degree in Elementary Education from York College and my Master’s Degree from Western Maryland College. I have 2 amazing children, Brittany and my son Michael. I started my teaching career in 1995 as a first grade teacher but have also spent time in second, fourth grade, pre-k, and long term sub in fifth grade and AU pre-K. I have also worked in an intervention position, reading resource role, and teacher trainer. I currently work as a Developmental Therapist for developmentally delayed children ages 0-3 and tutor students of various grade levels.  I have enjoyed all of my teaching experiences for different reasons so it is difficult to choose which is my favorite, however I tend to gravitate to younger students. People are my passion and helping people in any way makes my heart happy and my life complete.
