Fair Haven Public Schools

January - December 2023

It is such a privilege to serve my community on the Fair Haven Board of Education.  Since my election in 2018, I've been amazed at my fellow board members, the administration and staff’s wealth of knowledge, strong values, and dedication to our town.  I am not surprised, as in my nearly 10 years of living in Fair Haven, I have encountered countless people just like this -- full of optimism, good ideas, and hard work.  I have had a desire for public service for as long as I can remember, and I feel so lucky to be able to bring my legal training, my involvement as a parent (my kids, Charlie and Emma, attend Sickles School), and my deep affection for our town to my work on the Board. Thank you for affording me this opportunity – I will continue to work hard for our community to support the district’s dedication to quality education. 

 

My family and I moved to Fair Haven from New York City in 2007.  We moved to the suburbs because we wanted to provide our children with the best educational experiences in a public school setting, while having them grow up in a small town that valued community.  We have three children, one at Sickles and two at Knollwood.  My professional background as a Human Resources Generalist in Finance provides me with a unique skill set in employee relations, policy advisement and retention practices.  I’m hoping to be able to utilize these skills to provide a sustainable, positive learning environment where every child is engaged and challenged to their greatest potential, while focusing on academic achievement for children on every level.  I am very excited to serve our community as a Board of Education member.  I look forward to working closely with the administrative team and the community of Fair Haven.

I feel very honored and grateful to be serving as a member of the Fair Haven Board of Education.  My husband, Michael, and I moved to Fair Haven back in 2014 and have so loved becoming a part of this wonderful community.  When we moved back home to Monmouth County and were deciding where to send our children to school, there was only one best choice for us.  Fair Haven has given us the small, close knit feel we were looking for, along with the excellence in education for our boys that was our number one priority.  With one son in Knollwood, one in Sickles, and one soon to take advantage of the new full-day kindergarten, we’ve been so happy with our experiences here.  This is a very exciting time for our schools…With the referendum passed, a new cutting edge curriculum in place, and our administration and teachers setting the bar increasingly high, the Fair Haven schools are headed in an amazing direction.  I’m thrilled to be a part of the team and sincerely look forward to using my legal background, diverse educational experience, creativity, and dedication to help ensure only the best for our children as we move into the future.
