I have been teaching for 28 years.  I received my Bachelors of Arts degree from Douglass College at Rutgers University in New Jersey.  I majored in education and psychology.  I have experience in 4K through 12th grade.  I am certified in early childhood education and elementary education, and I am endorsed in gifted education. I believe attitude is everything. I try to be as positive as I can be in all I do. I try to bring out the best in every student I teach. I want each child to achieve his or her personal best in all that he or she does. One of my favorite quotes is " We must see that every child has equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different--to realize the unique potential he or she possesses." ---John Fishcher
