A little bit about me...

I graduated from Saint Joseph’s University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary and Special Education and a Master’s Degree in Education with a specialization in Literacy. This will be my 13th year of teaching and my fourth year teaching in Marlboro. I’m excited to start another fantastic year in third grade! Before coming to Dugan, I was teaching at an independent school in Park Slope, Brooklyn where I taught first grade, third grade and fourth grade in my time spent there.

I strive to create a welcoming classroom environment where all students feel self-assured, supported and motivated to work hard. I believe in order to run a successful classroom I must establish a level of mutual respect between myself, my students and their families, communicate in a clear and honest way and recognize that each student is a unique individual who deserves a personalized approach to learning. I plan my lessons with your child’s needs in mind and strive to make every learning experience fun, engaging and memorable. 

When I’m not teaching, I love spending time with my family and friends. “Aunt Nana” is my favorite nickname. I absolutely adore my nephews and time spent playing together. I recently got a puppy named Lainey and I'm very much in love with her! I can't wait to share adorable photos with the kids. I’ve always enjoyed singing and spent years doing Musical Theater, which I’ve recently started getting back into!

I am looking forward to meeting the third graders so soon! I can’t wait to work together and to support them as they develop new friendships, become more confident in their academic abilities and tackle new content.

*In the future all online classwork and assignments will be found on Google Classroom. Your child's Marlboro Google Log-in information will be taped to the inside cover of their homework agenda pad.

*Students may sign into Clever.com and using their Marlboro Google Credentials and will have access to programs used in the classroom.
