I am currently an educator in the Jackson Township School District teaching both special and general education courses, primarily history and literacy, and specializing in students with social and behavior issues. I hold a master’s degree in education with a concentration in special education and another in administration and leadership. Previously I had a long career as a municipal administrator, and in the fire service as both a volunteer chief and career captain. I am am also a NJ Certified Public Manager. I enrolled in the EdD. program to not only hone my leadership skills but to find a career position which will provide me with one more opportunity to truly make a difference in the world. I look forward to networking and making new friends and will contribute whatever I can to the program.
