Welcome to my class! This is my 10th year of teaching and my 4th year at the Academy for Success.  I was born and raised on Long Island, which is in New York.  My husband served in the United States Marine Corps and United States Army. We were transferred to Fort Jackson in June of 2015.    I am excited about meeting my students and I am looking forward to a successful school year.  My goal is to motivate my students to achieve their goals and become productive citizens.  I understand how important it is to meet each student's individual needs and to nurture positive relationships with my students' families.  I enjoy watching movies, reading, going to the beach, and visiting family and friends in New York.
