I am looking forward to a wonderful year helping students develop speech and language skills at Allenwood School.  It is my pleasure to work with our staff and students, also known as the Allenwood Family. I am a graduate of The College of New Jersey with a Master of Arts in Speech Pathology.  I am passionate about helping students both in the speech room and the classroom to achieve their goals.  During my over 25 years in the field, I have learned so much.

When I am not teaching at Allenwood, you can find me and my family at the beach. We enjoy new health and fitness challenges, traveling, and entertaining our friends and family.
