My educational journey started when I received my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Psychology from Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, NY. I taught pre-school in Rochester for Crestwood Children’s Center. Then I went on to earn my Master’s degree in Special Education from SUNY Geneseo. When I moved to the Syracuse area, I worked as an elementary special education teacher with OCM BOCES. I taught for fifteen years at BOCES before I moved on to administration. I earned my Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) in Administration with SUNY Oswego and worked as an assistant principal at Oswego City High School. Now I am excited to go back to my elementary roots.
Elementary is where we set students up for success by teaching the academic content, social skills, and coping strategies which children will rely on. I look forward to working with you and your student this year.
