Bio:

I went to Rutgers College for my BA in History/Political Science and a minor in Psychology. At Rutgers I completed independent studies in college teaching and an internship at the Public Defenders Office. (This is when I realized I didn't want to go into law.) After graduating, I taught at a catholic high school social studies and went for my first Masters at Monmouth University. At Monmouth, I received an MA in Liberal Studies concentrating in Communications and Psychological Counseling and a MA in Psychological Counseling. After my first MA, I immediately started to teach at the college level. (2006) I completed additional coursework to earn my LAC. (Licensed Associate Counselor)
