A Bit About Me
Welcome to my educational journey! With a Master's Degree in Education from William Paterson University, I have dedicated over 20 years to shaping young minds in diverse educational environments across New Jersey and Maryland. My ranges from being a substitute teacher and para-educator to serving a lead general education and special education teacher, as well as an Orton Gillingham academic therapist. As a dually-certified educator, I am passionate about empowering students, particularly those with disabilities, reach their full potential.​
With rich background in entertainment and journalism, I bring skills to the classroom and tutoring, particularly when working with students who have attention challenges often, co-morbid with dyslexia. My approach is tailored to connect with each student, fostering an engaging and supportive learning environment. The success of my is reflected in the testimonials from both students and their parents, showcasing the positive impact I on their educational journey.
