I am currently on maternity leave. . . . Hooray!!! Prior to having my second daughter, I taught Enrichment Support (Gifted & Talented) for Grades K–5 for three years and kindergarten for 10 years in New Jersey.
I am also a consulting teacher for Northeast Foundation for Children and am excited to be a co-author for the book, Closing Circles: 50 Activities for Ending the Day in a Positive Way (NEFC 2012)!
