Welcome to North Bergen High School!

It is a privilege to serve as a member of the North Bergen High School Child Study Team. As a Nationally Certified School Psychologist, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Education from the University of Massachusetts (UMASS) Amherst. During my time at UMASS, I spent a semester studying abroad in Sydney, Australia, and received specialized training in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). This expertise led to years of hands-on experience providing home-based ABA therapy in the private sector.

I went on to earn both a Master's Degree in Education and an Advanced Degree in School Psychology from Brooklyn College. As a lifelong learner, I furthered my education by achieving certifications in Educational Leadership as both a Supervisor and Principal from Fairleigh Dickinson University.

As a School Psychologist, I provide comprehensive psychological services, educational support, and case management for high school students in grades 10–12 across a variety of specialized educational programs. I work with students with diverse abilities and needs, including cognitive, developmental, academic, behavioral, emotional, and social challenges. I also case manage students enrolled in our 18–21-year-old program, Bruin Transition Academy, which focuses on preparing young adults for life beyond the traditional high school setting.  I believe in recognizing each student's individual strengths and needs while providing the support and guidance necessary for them to grow and succeed. My goal is to help students build confidence, develop their abilities, increase their independence, and gain the skills they need to prepare for life beyond high school.

In addition to my work with the North Bergen School District, I am deeply committed to our community. I am the former co-chairperson of the Juvenile Conference Committee (JCC), an initiative that helps guide young people toward becoming productive, law-abiding citizens.

I look forward to an exciting and successful school year!
