I am a product of the Carteret School District.  I attended Nathan Hale, Minue, and I am a graduate of Carteret High School. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from Kean University and specialized in ELA.  After offers from other school districts, I accepted a position at the Carteret Middle School because I wanted to give back to the community that helped me get my start in my educational career.  I also wanted to be a part of the unique diversity that Carteret has to offer.  I taught at Carteret Middle School for over 20 years. I now enjoy being a part of the Carteret Junior High School Family.
