I earned my BS in biology from Montclair State University and my PhD in biomedical science (concentration in genetics and developmental biology) at the University of Connecticut Health Center. After a postdoctoral fellowship at Cornell University, I worked as a medical writer, creating educational programs for physicians, nurses and patients.
In 2007, I joined the Westfield High School science department. During my time at WHS, I've taught General Biology, Biology 1, AP Biology and Forensic Science. Since 2011, I have also co-advised the Science Olympiad with Dr. Louis Casagrande. In 2017-2018, I completed post-graduate work in educational leadership at Rowan University.
From 2015-2018, I volunteered with Union County 4H, leading a Lego Robotics club and an outdoor adventure club, Goosechase. Outside of school, I like to travel with my family, play board games like D&D with my friends and snuggle with our chihuahua, Fiona. I'm also a huge genealogy buff - I've been tracing our family tree since I was in high school. I'm an early adopter of genetic genealogy to solve some of our family mysteries.
