As an educator, I have always believed that teachers play an important role in the development of our students. How we nurture them, support them, and motivate them gives them the foundation they need as they move through the education system.

After graduation from college, I joined the family business as a manager and then owner. My mind, however, always knew I would eventually move towards my chosen profession as a teacher. Following a successful period in business, I moved to education.

For all of my 23-year teaching career, I have taught in Christian Schools. I feel the need for a religious education has never been needed more than today. Although this is my first year at St. Mark Coptic Christian Academy, I feel it encompasses my belief in Christian education. I have been welcomed by the staff as well as the students, and feel very blessed to be a part of this community.

On the personal side, I am married with 2 children. I have lived at the Jersey Shore for all of my life and enjoy reading and traveling during my free time.
