About The Teacher

I am a NYS Licensed Teacher for grades K-12. I am also a career changer 
after 15+ years in Corporate Information Technology.

I have been teaching Grades Pre K through 8th for 3 years. This is my first 
year in Mildred E. Strang Middle school.

I live in Yorktown Heights, along with my husband and 3 children, -two are 
in the Yorktown Public Schools and my third is just not old enough....yet!

I am thrilled to be teaching here and look forward to getting to know you 
all!

It is my belief that everyone learns differently. Sometimes teaching a topic 
using visual tools such as a computer will help to get a point accross 
better. That is my goal and approach to teaching Computer classes in the 
Middle School.
