I am the School Social Worker on the Child Study Team for Birches and Whitman Elementary Schools.  I graduated from Rutgers University with a BA in Sociology along with a minor in criminal justice.  I then continued my education at Rutgers and earned a Master's degree in Social Work.  I have worked in Washington Township for 20 + years.  As a Child Study Team member, my responsibilities include working with children and families in order to make the educational experience a successful one.  This process encompasses working with children throughout the school day, meeting with families to conduct a social assessment interview, collaborating with teachers, guidance counselors and administrators in the best interest of the child, and facilitating meetings such as new referral meetings, parent/teacher conferences, eligibility and IEP meetings. 

I look forward to working with you and your children.
