I have been at St. Mark since: 2003
Personal: Hometown: Branchburg Township, NJ. Both of my children have graduated from St. Mark. I enjoy movies, reading, cooking, and board games.
Philosophy of Education: Success is not measured by mere grades, but what you learn to give back as a caring individual who contributes in faith, service and love while using your God-given talents.
Mission Statement: I will teach with creativity, sensitivity and love. I will inspire young minds to think beyond “the box." I will be grateful for every student in my class, recognizing the strength in all of them and fostering confidence to achieve where a weakness lies. I will guide them in choosing right from wrong even when it’s not a popular choice. I will prepare them not only for the next grade, but also for life-long lessons. I will be forever grateful for the path God has given me. I will look forward to loving and serving the Lord in this manner for as long as I am called to do so.
