"Dear parents and students,

After twenty-five blissful years of serving in the world of public education, I have retired (effective July 1, 2013) from my educational career at North Hunterdon High School in Annandale, New Jersey where I had the fabulous opportunity to inspire and transform the lives of thousands of students.

That same summer, I was offered several opportunities to teach in a variety of high schools and chose to work at North Hunterdon Regional High School. Within three years, I decided to further my education at East Stroudsburg University, and I procured a Master's Degree in Special Education and once again, graduated with a 4.0. While employed at North Hunterdon, I continued to expand my learning and took the necessary classes to become a certified supervisor. My most recent certification is in the area of special education as an LDTC (learning disabilities teacher consultant) at Montclair State University. This is a Post Graduate Certification which authorizes me to use evaluative tests such as the Woodcock Johnson to assess students and to analyze the results of the data to determine learning strengths and weaknesses.
