    I am also proud to be the advisor for the Health Sciences Academy HOSA Chapter. HOSA stands for the Health Occupation Students of America and is a professional organization for students interested in a career in the medical field where they can network with healthcare professionals, learn more about their career choices, participate in health-related competitions in which they can win scholarship monies, and many more areas for growth within the healthcare profession.

    I have been a teacher in Perth Amboy since September 1994. My first 9 years were spent at the McGinnis School teaching 7th and 8th grade science, both regular and G&T. I very much enjoyed that experience at the time. When a position opened up at the High School for a Biology teacher, I jumped at it. I have been at Perth Amboy High School since 2002 teaching Freshman IPS, Honors Biology, Biology CP, AP(C) Biology, AP(c) Environmental Science, Environmental Science, and for the Health Science Academy - Emergency Medical Responder Certification course, Medical Terminology, and Public Health.
     
     
    People ask me 'Why Perth Amboy?'
    I ask 'Why not?' This town has such great potential and promise. I have enjoyed doing my part to educate the children of this town to be successful adults. There have been many success stories, and many more to come. I do not plan on going anywhere else.
      
    My room is a place that students (some not even mine) like to be in. I have a very open environment where my students feel welcome and cared for. My room is decorated in a style that is hard to define — but colorful and happy comes to mind. I am a HUGE fan of all things Disney and my animals at home are named after characters from the films.  Being a Biology teacher, living animals are an important part of my daily life. At home, I have cats, geckos, a turtle, and a chinchilla.
