Other facts

I think I am uniquely situated to provide excellent experience and perspective to the Moorestown Board of Education. As a mom of three children, ranging in age from 6 to 17, I am currently exposed to the issues and concerns facing Moorestown students, parents and teachers at all levels of our educational system. In addition, as a former college professor, I understand the academic environment into which our children will be entering and for which they need to be prepared. I have had varied and significant experiences in many areas of education, including academic support, writing and composition, curriculum design, professional development for educators, assessment and leadership. I look forward to working with the current board to ensure Moorestown students, teachers and administrators have the support they need to succeed at the highest level. I am particularly interested in working on the curriculum committee, to provide my expertise in assessing and growing the academic programs at the and level.
