I was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. I moved to Loudoun County, VA after earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary/Middle Education from Temple University and began my career in Loudoun County Public Schools as a first grade teacher. I received a Master’s Degree in Special Education, K-12 at George Mason University, and since then I've taught and case-managed students receiving special education services in middle and high school. I recently earned an ABA Graduate Certificate from Mason, passed the Behavior Analysis Certification Board's exam and earned my BCBA.

I am a special education teacher at Woodgrove, where I team-teach Earth Science and sponsor the Gay-Straight Alliance Club.
