I live in Jersey City with my husband and two children. As a first generation American, education has always been a focus and passion of mine. I serve as Board Chair for Kindle Education in Jersey City, NJ and am actively involved in the Learning Community Charter School.

For the last 20 years, I've specialized in fundraising, event production and education reform. Most recently, I served as a Managing Director of Development for KIPP New Jersey and KIPP Miami where I worked with our team to grow to more than 20 schools. Currently, I am working as a Managing Director for our family's business - First Choice Prep - supporting students with their academic journeys through tutoring and test prep. I also work part-time producing events with Gail P. Stone Events.

First Choice Prep offers academic tutoring and test prep to support students virtually or in-person. We focus on one-on-one and small group tutoring that is tailored to students' unique needs. By combining a strong curriculum with passionate tutors, we've helped thousands of students succeed academically.

We recently expanded to Millburn and are working more closely with Summit families. I've always loved the CoCo from my time at KIPP and valued its mission to build collaboration and community. The CoCo is a great resource for so many small businesses.
