Formerly a NJ public school music teacher, for the last 5 years I've been a part time teacher of pre-school and toddler music classes, as well as musical theater camps and workshops for school aged children.

I've found myself drawn towards teaching Special Education because of my experiences with my oldest child, who is diagnosed high functioning Autistic spectrum disorder.

I'm hopeful that a special education certification will offer me opportunities to balance my passion for educating all children, my experiences in performing arts education, and my commitment to my family life.

I left my job in NJ public schools to stay at home with my family. I have 3 boys, ages 1, 6 and 8.

The most rewarding part of teaching for me is watching how my students grow. Be it a new musical skill, or a new sense of confidence, being part of that process is a wonderful feeling!

During the rare moments I'm not parenting or teaching I enjoy reading, traveling, spending time outside, and attending concerts with my husband.

One of my favorite hobbies is writing original kids music with my husband. We've recorded and released 2 albums and several singles.

While school was a challenge for me as a young kid as an adult I love learning and I'm always digging into something new. I have a BA and MA in Music Education from Montclair State University in NJ. I started my Special Ed. Cert work at another school last year and transferred to this program when I realized I needed a fully online program.
