As the Assistant Principal at Joseph T. Donahue School, I would like to welcome you to this school year. I take great pride in all that our third and fourth grade school has to offer our students; through educational platforms that continue to encourage our students to strive for academic excellence, as well as an emphasis on the social-emotional development of our population. As part of the Barnegat family, we encourage one another to succeed, partner and work collaboratively with all stakeholders, and make sure that every individual can reach their highest potential.

I received my BA from Rider University, my MA from Georgian Court University, and obtained my Orton Gillingham certification from Fairleigh Dickinson University. After teaching special education in Manalapan for eight years, I moved to Barnegat Township and began teaching at Barnegat Township School District in September 2019. In 2021, I proudly joined the administrative team as vice principal at Russell O. Brackman Middle School and am very excited to continue this journey at Joseph T. Donahue School as assistant principal.

At Joseph T. Donahue School, we are committed to making our future leaders. We are excited for a fun-filled and successful school year! As always, please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. My door is always open. I look forward to having a wonderful school year!
