I am beginning my four year at the Ferryway School as an assistant principal. Prior to arriving to Malden, I taught at The Landmark School for five years. After leaving Landmark, I taught in Haverhill as seventh grade inclusion specialist for two years and an eighth grade science teacher for two more years.
As many of you know, I am the assistant principal this year for grades K, 2, 4,6 and 8. By alternating grades every other year, I will have the opportunity to watch your children grow as they enter Kindergarten and eventually leave us in the eighth grade. I have an open door policy for students, parents and staff.
As I begin my four year here at the Ferryway School, it is quite clear to me that we have a gifted and dedicated staff who work hard every day to give your children a quality education. At the Ferryway School, we work together to give every child the opportunity to learn and do their best.
I grew up in Melrose, Massachusetts and attended public school. I graduated from Melrose High School. I graduated from the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth (formerly known as Southeastern Massachusetts University)with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Humanities and Social Sciences. I went on to earn a Master's Degree in Education with a concentration in Special Education from the University of Massachusetts- Boston. I am currently working toward a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Educational Leadership from Fitchburg State College. I hold a total of five teaching certificates from the Department of Education. Currently, I am certified in Elementary Education Grades 1-6, Special Education Grades PreK-9, Special Education Grades 5-12, Middle School Generalist Grades 5-9, and Principal/Assistant Principal Grades 5-9. I hold an additional initial certificate Principal/Assistant Principal K-6.
