I am currently in my 12th year as a Principal in Hopewell Valley, New Jersey. My role this year is new in that I am not running a school, I am involved in a variety of technology related projects including: PARCC implementation, the adoption of a new Student Information System, managing district online subscriptions, and implementation of a 1:1 Chromebook program at our high school. Previously I have served as principal of East Amwell School (k-8), assistant principal of Loring Flemming Elementary School (k-5), and English teacher at Buena Regional High School. I have spent my 20 year career in the state of New Jersey and believe that our state has some of the most innovative and exciting educators in the world. I am thrilled to be connected with many of them on Twitter at #njed. I am a co-moderator of #njed chat and on the organizing team for #edcampNJ.
It is an honor and a privilege to work with children and teachers every day. I hope that they gain as much from me as I do from them.
I am fortunate to have two daughters who, quite frankly, are awesome!
