Job Description: Hello, I am extremely happy to be at STEM teaching math, science and engineering in fifth grade. I would like to share a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in New Jersey. There I received my bachelor of science in Business Administration, majoring in Accounting from Seton Hall University. After working for Ernst & Young LLP as an accountant for a few years. I then decided to move to Colorado. I love it here!! I continued my education to get my Masters of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in K-8 Mathematics. I am looking forward to an exciting and action packed year.

Job Description: After more than 2 decades as an educator, I am elated and inspired to call the 5th grade at STEM Magnet Lab School my home. Originally from the Hawaiian Islands, I began my teaching career in New York after completing my Bachelors of Science from the State University of New York at Fredonia. However, as serendipity is often woven in arcane ways, I ventured out West to Colorado to earn a Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction from CU Boulder, with an endorsement as a K-12 Literacy Specialist. It is with great ardor that I look forward to help galvanize the incoming 5th grade STEMsters, enable them to realize their potential, and then rocket beyond!
