I was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey which is exit 13 on the NJ turnpike.
Parents, if you have ever seen the Sopranos you will see Tony passing exit
13, which is the exit for Elizabeth. This part of New Jersey is heavily
populated and a melting pot of cultures. I moved to Sarasota when
I entered high school. I am a graduate of Riverview High School. I have a
graduate degree in education from the University of South Florida. I
completed my doctorate in educational counseling at Argosy University in
2000. I love the process of teaching students. I enjoy what I do and I
can't think of anything that I'd rather do than teach.
My teaching certifications include: Guidance, K-12; Elementary Education, K-
6; Gifted Endorsement, K-12; Emotionally Handicapped, K-12; Psychology, 9-12.
To provide a quality education to our students so that they become
responsible members of our community. To inspire students to become
stewards of the environment.
