I began my career as a special educator, working for the Regional Day School at Morris for the Mendham Borough School District, in Morris, N.J. After having my 3 children, I began my employment with VBCPS in August of 2002, as a special education teacher at Landstown Middle School. Go Lancers! I was their Teacher of the Year in 2007! I then became the School Improvement Specialist at Virginia Beach Middle School during the 2007/08 school year. Seahawks ROCK! After 5 years, as a SIS, I knew I missed the day to day classroom interaction with students- I realized I am a true teacher at heart- time to make a change! I went back into the classroom in December of 2011, as a special education teacher, first at VB Middle, where I was honored as their Teacher of the Year 2015, and now at Corporate Landing Middle School, where I was honored as their Teacher of the Year 2020/21. I love kids and I love what I do! I'm a very lucky gal!
