I have been an educator for over 16 years. Recently I was appointed the Director of Planning, Research, and Evaluation for the Chester School District in Chester, NJ. Prior to this I was a vice principal at Black River Middle School in Chester, NJ. I was recently named the 2017 NASSP National Assistant Principal of the Year.
