I have been teaching at Holy Family School for 28 years.I have a Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education from Queens College and a Bachelor's Degree in Education from St John's University.I live in Floral Park with my husband Kenny and 3 of my children, Timmy, Cole and Cassidy. My eldest daughter, Kristen, recently was married in Dublin, Ireland and lives in Ohio. My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family.

What can students look forward to when they join your class?
I am looking forward to a fun-filled adventure in our Nursery class this year! We have great activities planned to help you learn and socialize in a play based environment. I hope you like to paint! We paint with brushes, sponges, stamps, our hand and other materials we find all around us. In this class, we sing too! We sing about colors, shapes, seasons, numbers and especially to be silly! Our favorite thing to do is play! There are many activities set up in centers throughout our classroom to help you make friends, learn to share, explore and have fun!!
