I was born and raised on Long Island where I still reside with my husband and my two children Conor (21) and Paige (17). I graduated from St. Mary's High School in Manhasset and received a bachelor's Degree in Psychology from St. John's University and a Master's Degree in Counselor Education from Queens College.
This will be my 6th year at St. Agnes Cathedral School. Before working at St. Agnes, I worked as an adjunct professor and academic advisor at Nassau Community College for 19 years. While I've enjoyed working at the collegiate level my heart is with K-8. Through collaboration with school staff, administration, and parents my goal for all children at St. Agnes is student success socially and academically, ensuring your children become productive, well-adjusted young adults!
When I am not working I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I am an avid exerciser and runner.

St. Agnes,
Although you were only a child, you believed that Jesus was always with you:
"Help us to remember that he is also with us, and to remain true to his presence."
