I have been an educator in New York City for more than twenty years working as an elementary school teacher, a high school teacher, and a bilingual teacher. 


Working as an elementary school literacy coach and professional staff developer enabled me to work with a wide range of students over the years and allowed me to mentor teachers at different stages in their careers. 


My work continued at the high school level where I was a co-founder of a small, innovative high school. Here I had the opportunity to serve as a Mathematics Teacher, English Teacher, ESL teacher, Art Teacher,  Special Education teacher, Assistant Principal, and Principal! 


I currently work at home in New Rochelle, NY as a writer creating bilingual children's books and literacy-based art instructional materials for elementary school teachers.

I am a single mom to a wonderful 7-year-old boy named Max. He is a curious little boy who keeps me on my toes every minute of the day. He started reading at 3 years old and taught himself to tell time on a REAL CLOCK when he figured out he could count by fives!

I am a single mom to a wonderful 7-year-old boy named Max. He is a curious little boy who keeps me on my toes every minute of the day. He started reading at 3 years old and taught himself to tell time on a REAL CLOCK when he figured out he could count by fives!  


I have always been an educator. When I was young I had one of those wonderful mothers who would let me write all over my bedroom walls with chalk. I would "play school" for hours, writing furiously on the walls, as my Barbies and teddy bears sat silently at attention.  For my son, I painted a large wall right in the middle of our living room with clear chalkboard paint.  He, too, writes furiously, creating a new painting for our home each day. 


Oh, how I miss chalk!
