About Me
I have been a teacher for 16 years. 15 of them I have spent in East Williston. The first 13 of those I spent at North Side School teaching K-4 Computer Technology; the past two teaching Coding and other Computer Science skills to grades 5-12 in Willets Road School and the Wheatley School.
I love my job! But I do other things outside of school that help make me a better teacher! I attend many conferences and even present at some of them. I learn a lot from my TWITTER PLN (Professional Learning Network) and of course I learn something interesting from my students nearly every single day!
