It is an honor to be the principal and educational leader of Hawkins Path Elementary School. 

I attended Hofstra University for my bachelor’s degree then attended Dowling College for my master’s degree. I received my administrative certificate from Queens College in 2004. 

The “whole child” approach to education is something I believe in to ensure each child’s long-term success.  I constantly strive to consider the child’s best interest in every decision I make throughout the academic year. My experiences as an assistant principal then principal, at Dawnwood Middle School, enhance my ability to effectively guide your children. 

This year, I celebrate my 27 years of public-school experience as an educator. I look forward to continuing my journey as an educator and working with the Hawkins Path Elementary School and Middle Country Central School community for years to come!
