About

Psychology, Childhood, and Special Education graduate from Marist University with a passion for creating inclusive, supportive, and equity-driven environments for students. Throughout my undergraduate career, I gained extensive hands-on experience through diverse fieldwork and student teaching placements. Working across STEM education, Social and Emotional Learning programs, self-contained special education classrooms, and TESOL instruction allowed me to develop a strong foundation in student advocacy and adaptive learning. Holding a B.S. in Psychology and Education alongside my teaching certifications, I am taking the next step in my professional journey by pursuing my Master’s degree in School Psychology. My goal is to bridge the gap between classroom instruction and psychological support. I look forward to utilizing my background as a certified educator to work as a specialist who empowers diverse learners, collaborates closely with families, and guides school communities on how to holistically support every child.
