Hello and welcome!

My name is Ms. Kimberly Collier and I am so excited to begin my fourth year as a teacher at the Dr. Herbert N. Richardson School! This is my second year working with our wonderful team including Ms. Dina Pla, Mrs. Jennifer Mercado, and Mrs. Melissa Louis. Prior to working as a teacher in Perth Amboy, I was a teacher in Edgewater, Fair Haven, and Long Branch. 

I graduated with my degree in Elementary K-6 from the University of Maryland. I then returned to New Jersey with hopes of being an elementary teacher. Since then, I have taught Kindergarten and grades 1 through 4. It has been a very busy few years but these experiences have helped shape the teacher I am today! I recently graduated with my Masters of Special Education from Monmouth University in the Winter of 2017. 

I have always known that I wanted to be a teacher, since I was the age of my current students. It is such an honor to work with your child to ensure his/her success this school year. I am happy to work together as a team and community to make this school year the best it can possibly be!

Sincerely, 

Ms. Collier
