TEACHER BIO:
I love teaching!  I have taught every grade level here at Frankford except preschool.  However, I was a 
preschool director in Morristown before joining
the staff here at Frankford in 1991.  I am currently the Response to Interventionist (formally  Basic 
Skills) Teacher for Grade 2.  My office is Room 12 d.  I am especially pleased to have initiated the 
Basic Skills Summer Program.  I have degrees in Early Childhood Education and a two Masters Degrees 
one in Special Education from Kean University, the other from The College of New Jersey in 
Educational  Instruction.  I was nominated to Kappa Delta Pi, the honor society in education in 1998. 
When I am not working with children you will find me visiting my five grown 
children and three grown step children or playing with one of my four grandchildren preferably in my 
garden.  I love to travel.  I have been to Europe (England, France, Spain, 
Italy and Germany) and Australia,  I've been to Puerto Rico and all but three 
of the fifty United States. I still would like to visit Alabama, Arkansas and 
Mississippi.

Learning for a life-time

To support parents in developing a love of learning for all my students.  
Reading is my passion.  I  especially enjoy being the chairperson of the Enthusiastic 
Reader program every year.
