My day is one that starts in a collaborative setting where faculty, administrators and students collectively prepare for the day ahead.  I am a teacher and facilitator of various class subjects involving the cognitive, emotional and social skill and strategy development of each student in the class room. Since all children learn differently, scaffolding a lesson or activity is often required to accommodate and address the learning needs of each student. Given the differentiation needed, I am cognizant each day to be innovative, patient, enrolling with all my students. My coworkers are amazing people; each faculty and administrator is committed to having our school(s) run efficiently, collegiately and with great kindness, encouragement and guidance towards all who enter our establishment.  Challenges arise when supportive do not take for a child after several trials or changes, and both teacher and parent are at difficult places with deciding out next steps for the child. The most enjoyable part of my work as an educator is observing daily engagement and inquiry based learning in the classroom and clinically assessing the different ways each student reaches their daily and/or yearly academic goals.

My philosophy is to find the most effective way to help students by working proactively in a collaborative fashion with teachers, parents, administration, and the community.  I believe in making the best of what is available, and being an advocate for students so that the school climate and culture is one that can foster growth and success.

I am an energetic, innovative and determined individual who is motivated to embrace any challenges with the utmost confidence.  Through my eclectic professional experience I have learned the value of leadership, organization, group dynamics, and have become highly competent in working with a diverse population.  I believe in helping students to become well-rounded individuals who have a drive for learning through their lifetime, and in challenging them to enhance their own self-confidence so they can positively embrace all their endeavors.  I believe that all students have the potential to succeed, and when guided, they can discover their own personal strengths and develop positive life skills so they can find success and become exceptional citizens within their communities.

Thank you for your consideration.

Typically I teach ballet classes for specific age groups from pre-school to pre-teen and adults beginners. I have polished my curriculum to where the youth have fun while learning the technical skills of ballet and theater performance. Management is very consistent about expecting the best customer service for both the youths and their parents while at the same time bringing a company of dancers together to perform full length ballets twice a year. the challenge is keeping class materials fresh and entertaining while insisting o excellent skill building--which the youth really enjoy so much that they invite their friends from school to take my class. I enjoy working in a creative, organized and professional environment that is family based. The down side is when registration is low, the number of classes and income are reduced. The up side is the loyalty of the director and encouragement to always improve our teaching of the art of dance.

Working at the **Great Neck School District** was a truly rewarding and enriching experience. As a teacher, I had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of students in a supportive and academically driven environment. The district values innovation, collaboration, and student-centered learning, which allowed me to design engaging lessons and foster critical thinking. Colleagues were professional, passionate, and always willing to share ideas, creating a strong sense of community and teamwork. The administration provided excellent resources, training, and encouragement for professional growth. What stood out most was the district’s genuine commitment to both student success and teacher development. Seeing my students grow in confidence and ability was deeply fulfilling. Overall, Great Neck School District is an exceptional place to teach, offering both challenge and inspiration, and I am grateful for the experience it provided in shaping my skills as an educator and lifelong learner.


Within a recent internship as a School Business Administrator for Great Neck Public Schools, I successfully managed all costs and billing initiatives while proactively resolving financial discrepancies via organizational management of high-volume account information using WinCap Financial software. Within this role, I also skillfully produced high-quality documentation, spreadsheets, and presentations for internal and/or customer-facing needs using financial software. 

 A sample of my accomplishments included: 

 Expertly aggregating and analyzing historical data related to all administrative costs and budgets. 

 Continually optimizing all systems for payment collection, deposits, and accounts payable/receivable. 

 Communicating multi-division corporate objectives via ongoing correspondence and scheduled status updates.

Every day was a new "adventure" and a new "learning "experience for the children, the parents and the staff . There was joy in discovery, motivation to explore and to constantly change and grow together.
The environment and community of  the school sets the stage for cooperation, collaboration and joy in childhood.

Do you love weed whacking for days on end? Do you enjoy being berated by managers who are incapable of scheduling employees properly? Does earning 3 vacation days a year sound good? Then this jobs for you! You may be in the "union" but it provides zero protection as supervisors are all watching out for their own promotions and careers. If you have any aspirations of careers in turf management or groundskeeping, or just don't want to be miserable daily, do yourself a favor and stay far away.

JBD and Great Neck are in a part of Virginia Beach where the student population, for a large part, gets a lot of support from home. Most of the students are white from upper middle/upper class homes who could be given a textbook, told to read it and still pass the SOL with flying colors. Great emphasis is placed on student achievement and parents can be a bit overly involved at times.
