I have been dedicated to the field of education for over 25 years. My journey began at St. Thomas and Kellenberg Memorial High School, where I received a strong foundation in Catholic education. I continued my academic pursuits at Marist College, earning my undergraduate degree, and later obtained my Master’s degree from Adelphi University. My husband and I live in Pawling with our daughter and son. Our daughter graduated in June 2024, and our son is a junior. Throughout my career, I have been committed to fostering a supportive and enriching learning environment for my students. One of the most rewarding experiences has been guiding my second-grade classes through their First Holy Communion at St. Joseph’s School. I have been blessed to teach at St. Joseph’s with a supportive school administration and devoted teachers with whom I work daily. My extensive experience has allowed me to develop a teaching philosophy centered on respect, curiosity, and lifelong learning.
