I was born and raised in New Jersey. I attended college at Ohio University and graduate school at Fordham University in Manhattan. I taught in New Jersey for almost 5 years. In 2003, I was accepted to the New York City Leadership Academy. In January of 2005, I was hired as the principal of Central Park East Middle School, JHS 13. It has been an excellent journey thus far and I am excited for the progress we will continue to make.
