I grew up in Northern New Jersey, and attended the University of Hartford, where I graduated from with both a BS and MA in Early Childhood Education.

I lived in Connecticut for a few years after I graduated, then eventually moved back to New Jersey, got my NJ Teaching Certification, and I taught Kindergarten for a few years until having my children. 

My son Ryan, my not-so-little boy anymore is now a freshman at Syracuse University, living the best life an 18 year old could have!

​

My daughter Sydney.....my Sydney has special needs. So beautiful and so strong. Sydney suffered 3 strokes as an infant, and has tremendous delays, but her brain is learning to make new connections everyday. She's now 15 years old.

​

Sydney is very smart, and very funny, and has a sense of humor like her Mama. 

Sydney's moving along at her own pace; which is really what any parent can hope for. 

​

Like many parents of special needs children, I am divorced.  

Life changes ALL the time!  Maybe more so to parents whose child/children aren't so 'typical'.
