It is with immense pride and excitement that I introduce myself as the new principal of Pines Elementary School.  I am truly honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such a rich tradition of community involvement and academic success.  

Let me begin by sharing a little about my background.  I began my career as a sixth-grade teacher in South Ozone Park, Queens before moving into an administrative role in the Amityville School District.  Most recently, I was an assistant principal in the Sayville School District and have 16 years of experience as both an elementary assistant principal and principal.  These experiences have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the educational landscape and a deep appreciation for the unique needs of students at every level. 

Alongside our dedicated teachers and staff, I am committed to continuing Pines Elementary’s  legacy of success by fostering strong relationships with our parents, students and community partners.  As your principal, my priority is to ensure that everyone who steps through our doors is thrilled to be here.  This positive attitude will empower us to create a fun and dynamic learning environment where every child can thrive.  

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or suggestions.  I am here to serve as a resource and partner in your child’s educational journey.  I look forward to meeting each and every one of you and working together to create a bright future for our students.
