It is my pleasure to join the West Milford Township Public School district.  I am excited to continue West Milford School District's tradition of excellence and the provision of programs that support all students, including those with special needs.  I have had the pleasure of serving in the field of special education for over 20 years, including serving as a Director of Special Services for over a decade.  I am honored to work alongside our dedicated teachers, faculty, and administrators in order to support the needs of our students and their families.  It is through collaboration, commitment, and compassion that we will move forward collectively as a West Milford community in support of our children. Should you need any assistance, please feel free to contact me.
