    I am honored to serve the Hempstead Community as the IB Coach at Rhodes. Having an opportunity to mentor some teachers and work alongside other teachers in a building of over 700 scholars is a privilege. My role is to support our administration, teachers and scholars in fulfilling our IB endeavors to lead us to and beyond our IB evaluation.

    Working as a classroom teacher for over 25 years in grades PreK-6, I have learned an abundance of skills and strategies that I love sharing with other like-minded educators. Together we created a curriculum centered around the six IB Themes for our Units of Inquiry. I am passionate about our District's motto, “Getting to Greater”, and I believe in the Mission of the IB framework.
