Principal

Teaching Subjects: Principal

Short Bio: I began teaching in Kinnelon in 1978. As a teacher I had the opportunity to teach Fourth Grade, Basic Skills which was then called Compensatory Education, Seventh and Eighth Grade Math, Kindergarten, Junior Kindergarten, and Pre-School Disabilities. I received a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Administration from Caldwell College. This is my tenth year as Principal of Kiel School. I feel very privileged to be at the helm of an amazing school due to the dedication of the staff, students and parents. We are continuously learning together to enhance and refine the good work that is already present. One of my greatest joys is seeing some of my former students in the building now as parents!
