Hello, my name is Miss Checkers! I have been teaching at Holy Family School since 2017. I feel so blessed to be a part of this loving Catholic family. I had received a Catholic education since I was in Pre-K. I personally know how important it is to incorporate faith into a child's education. Being able to share my knowledge and faith with my students is such a gift. I attended Maria Regina Elementary School and then moved on to Kellenberg Memorial High School. After graduating from Kellenberg, I was asked to coach cheerleading, where I continue my love for teaching outside of the classroom. I have been coaching at Kellenberg since 2010. I truly know the meaning of family and faith when I step through the doors of Kellenberg and now Holy Family.
I earned my BA in Exercise Science from Adelphi University, but I felt like something was missing and I wasn't truly happy! I then received a job as a teacher's assistant at St. Joseph's School in Garden City. I knew that teaching was my true passion. I went back to Adelphi University to receive my Master's in Elementary and Special Education. Going back for my Master's in Education was the best decision I have ever made! I am looking forward to instilling the importance of knowledge, faith and family into your children.
