I am a graduate of Brookdale Community College with an associate’s degree in business administration. After several successful years of being the owner/operator of Eclipse Aquatic, LLC, a pool and hot tub service company, I found my true calling as a teacher through a series of career inventory tests. My love for science and technology flourished during my time in high school at M.A.S.T., The Marine Academy of Science and Technology. I researched schools with science educator programs and found the College of New Jersey to have the most reputable program in the state. I applied to TCNJ’s education program for Math, Science, and Technology, was accepted in the fall of 2012, began in the spring of 2013. I have completed three field experiences and completed nearly all of the courses required by both of my majors, except for student teaching which I will begin this Fall of 2015.
