I graduated with honors from Binghamton University with a degree in English. I later received training in teaching through the New York City Teaching Fellows program, and I completed my master's degree in special eduation at St. John's University. This is my eighth year of teaching, and this is my third full year at Roosevelt High School. In my teaching career I have taught in self-contained, co-teach, and resource room settings. Currently, I am a proud member of Roosevelt High School's A-team, the teachers and providers that serve Roosevelt's autistic population.
This year we will be joined by Josephine Marjieh. She is new to Roosevelt High school, but she is a long time member of our Yonkers Public School family. She had been working for four years as a teaching assistant at school 21, and assisted with their math program. The whole A- Team is excited to be joined by such a wonderful and experienced educator.
