Collaborating is the best way to multiply your abilities. 

Collaborating is at the core of education. We are a juncture in history where curiosity is a valuable an asset as knowledge, and first hand knowledge can be gained through collaboration.
Teaching can be isolating since we spend so much time immersed in our own subjects. Sharing knowledge, materials and experiences allow us to renew ourselves, kindle our passion for education and build up our repertoire of strategies to keep up with this ever-changing learning environment.

​Throughout my years in education, in addition to teaching. I have been class and club advisor, participated in professional development and shared decision making committees, directed the school TV station and, for a few years was secretary to the local school union.

Since 2007, I have shared my research through workshops on topics related to teaching and learning, differentiation, and technology in education. In addition, as a past director of the Central Region of the New York State Association of Foreign Language Teachers (NYSAFLT), I worked with various committees to promote language education and to provide professional development opportunities for teachers in the area. I am currently in one of the committees tasked with the revision of the New York State standards for World Languages. I am passionate about education, I believe we need to transform the teaching profession to meet the demands of the current society, to advance learning opportunities of all students and ultimately to instill responsible global citizenship in our learning and professional communities. ​
