Additional Information
Throughout my thirty-seven years of teaching I have been on several committees. I was on the School Leadership Committee from September 2008-2012, and the Math Committee from September 2009-2012. The committee that I contributed the most to was the Hospitality Committee. I started the committee in September 1995 and stopped in June 2024. I planned many social events at school that boosted school moral and helped to make our school environment enjoyable. I believe that it is important to be a responsible and a hard worker, however, it is important that you also enjoy your work and have some fun at same time. Now that I retired from my Jersey City teaching career this year, I want to focus only on the things that I enjoy. I want to teach younger students to enjoy learning.
