Since beginning my career in 2013, I have had the privilege of working with children across a variety of settings, including New Jersey's Early Intervention System, supporting children from birth to three years of age and their families. My true passion lies in helping Wall Township’s youngest learners develop the communication skills needed to succeed in all aspects of life. Watching their speech and language abilities blossom is one of the most rewarding aspects of my position.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my husband, our two children, and our dog. I look forward to working with families and supporting each child's communication journey.
