2005-Present  I have been serving as the Principal at St. John Regional Catholic School

2000-2005      I taught 4th & 5th grades at St. John Regional Catholic School

Prior to moving to Maryland in 2000, I taught at Saddle Brook Middle School (7th & 8th Grade Math/Science); South Orange Middle School (6th Grade); and St. Peter Academy, River Edge, NJ (Middle School Language Arts and Pre-School).  I began my teaching career at Our Lady Queen of Peace School in Maywood, NJ as a second grade teacher.

I grew up in Bergen County, New Jersey, where I attended both Catholic elementary and high school.  I lived in Bergen County my entire life until we relocated to Maryland in 2000.  At that time, my husband, Donald, accepted a job transfer to Montgomery County.   We have two children and have been blessed with two grandchildren, Savannah and Luke.  

While in New Jersey, I taught Irish step-dancing.  I was also certified to adjudicate Irish dance competitions. This allowed me to travel across the United States and Canada to judge local, regional, national, and international dance competitions.

These days, I love to read and to quilt in my "spare" time.
