I am very excited to be in my first year of working at the JCC! Before this I spent 14 years teaching in New York – in three different boroughs! The last three years I have been an Instructional Coach in North & Northeast Philadelphia. Which brings us to 2022 at the JCC where I will be working at the Preschool as a coach, assisting with the design and implementation of the Enrichment Program and ensuring that we recruit and retain the best possible staff at Camp Kef.
My husband, Vinny, and I live in a house that is filled with beautiful chaos. We have three awesome children who all attend the RJW Preschool. Ellis is 5.5, Jonah is 3.5 and Lily, aka Lil the Thrill, is 2 years old. Additionally, we share our lives with two beautiful doggies – Rosie, a 2 year old Golden Retriever and Reggie, a 2 month old Chihuahua Terrier mix.
