Educational Director and Principal

Founder of NY Smart Start and Brooklyn School of Excellence

I have been a teacher for as long as I can remember. My main experiences were centered around Public Schooling, Private Schooling, Homeschooling, and Academic Programs.

I was fortunate to have an abundance of experiences that allowed me to form what we envision as the best option for schooling in the 21st century, i.e., Brooklyn School of Excellence.

I have been in the field of education since 2004.

I play the cello, I enjoy hiking, I am a lefty, and I am a proud mama of three kiddos.
