My first occupational experience was spent at The Jamaica Association for the Deaf as the only Program Director, Audiologist, and Speech Pathologist, in the country. In developing and implementing that position, I created testing programs, utilized resources for the betterment of patients, and developed both national and international connections. My first four years in an American classroom were spent at The Anglo- American School of New York City, an independent, non-profit, co-educational, high school for English-speaking children of diplomats and members of the business community. From there, I worked at The Packer Collegiate Institute, voted one of the most prestigious New York State Independent Schools, for twenty-five years, initially as a Middle School Science Teacher and then as Middle School Dean. Following Packer, I received the rewarding opportunity to create a middle-school curriculum for Harlem Academy, an Independent Day School. Before retiring, I thoroughly enjoyed my time, returning to the classroom at Brooklyn Prospect Charter School, where I worked for 10-years as ‘Master Teacher.’ At BPC, I developed over a dozen school-customized development programs, created the science curriculum in its entirety for grades 6-8 and was a Grade Level Advisory Coordinator. These experiences, over the span of 30+ years, have provided the great opportunity to positively impact students that I now teach, guide and create with, on a one-on-one basis.
