Introduction

Welcome 6th grade students and parents to the beginning of the middle school journey. As I will have the school year to learn about your children and yourselves I feel it's important for you all to know some about myself. 

 

Biography:

I have been working in North Bergen going on 14 years. Throughout those years I have been lucky to work all these years at Horace Mann. I am a graduate of New Jersey City University and a local kid of Hudson County.

I began teaching 5th grade at Horace Mann which I taught for 9 years. Leading into my 10th year of teaching the 6th grade became departmentalized and I jumped at the opportunity to teach two of my favorite subjects when I was a student. My goal is to install that love for Science and History that has stayed with me to this day.

Aside from teaching I was the girl's basketball coach at Horace Mann for 10 years and was lucky enough to bring 4 championships to Horace Mann which I take great pride in. I am a father of 3 girls 2 which are in college in 1 that will begin 5th grade so I understand the struggle of being a working parent and I am committed to working with your children and yourselves to make our learning circle a success. 

I hope everyone has a great year and if parents have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me through email.
