I grew up in NJ. For my undergraduate degree, I went to York College in PA where I received a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education. After that, I moved to MD and taught in Baltimore City public schools for five years while obtaining my master’s degree from JHU in School Counseling. The summer after graduation, I was hired here. I have had a great experience working with the students and their families here at here. This past summer I finished my post master’s degree in Clinical Community Counseling from JHU. Currently, I am working towards completing clinical counseling hours to become a licensed counselor. I enjoy taking additional courses that enhance my counseling abilities and expand my knowledge of counseling young children.

In my spare time, I like to go running, biking, kayaking and skiing with my husband and my friends. I am also in a book club that meets monthly. Additionally, I enjoy traveling to any place that I have never been before.

I am privileged to have a position that gives me the chance to work with all of the students at Seventh District Elementary. I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to see them grow both emotionally and academically from year to year. The support of the teachers, parents, administrators, and community members really shines through in our students.
