Empowering Every Student For Success

 Every student in Paramus deserves the opportunity to thrive. I believe in a school system that meets each student where they are, providing the support, challenges, and opportunities needed to help them succeed academically, socially, and personally.  


Promoting Academic Excellence and Continuous Improvement

Achieving high academic standards is central to our mission. I am committed to fostering continuous improvement by:


  •  Ensuring Adequate Resources in Classrooms:  Working to establish policies and secure funding so that our classrooms have sufficient teachers, aides, and resources for our students to thrive. . 
  • Advocating for Data-Driven Decisions: Encouraging the use of data to monitor student progress and inform strategies.
  • Evaluating District Initiatives: Reviewing programs and policies to ensure they effectively enhance student learning.  
  • Supporting Educator Development: Promoting professional growth opportunities for teachers to implement best practices.


Supporting Diverse Learning Needs

Our students have unique strengths and challenges, and it’s essential that we offer a wide range of programs and resources to meet those needs. I am dedicated to an environment where students who require additional support can access it easily, while those ready for more advanced challenges have the opportunities to go further. From individualized assistance to accelerated learning options, my goal is to ensure that every student has the chance to excel.


Encouraging Holistic Growth

Success is about more than just academics. I’m committed to offering our students opportunities to explore extracurricular activities, participate in sports, and engage in real-world learning experiences. Whether they’re building teamwork on the field, developing creativity in the arts, or exploring leadership through clubs and organizations, I want every student to find their passion and develop skills that will serve them throughout their lives.


Adapting to the Future

The world is evolving quickly, and our students deserve an education that keeps pace with these changes. From new technologies to emerging career paths, we must thoughtfully integrate tools and opportunities that equip our students to succeed, no matter where their futures may lead them. I am committed to introducing innovative programs and resources that prepare our students to thrive in an ever-changing world, with a focus on adaptability, critical thinking, and lifelong learning.


Creating Pathways for All

Our district must be a place where students can pursue their interests and prepare for diverse futures. Whether they’re aiming for college, vocational training, or entering the workforce directly, we need to equip them with the tools and confidence to succeed. By providing varied educational pathways, we can nurture each student’s individual talents and aspirations, ensuring they leave our schools ready to contribute to their communities and follow their dreams.

In Paramus, we have the opportunity to empower every student to reach their full potential. By focusing on individual strengths and providing a well-rounded education, we can build a future where all of our students are prepared to succeed, no matter what path they choose. Together, let’s give every student the foundation they need to flourish.

The Board's Impact in Student Success

 As a Board Member of the Paramus School District, my primary responsibility is to serve as a representative of the community's educational interests and to ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive academically, socially, and personally. This involves setting strategic policies, approving budgets, and working collaboratively with educators, parents, and community members to create an environment where all students can succeed.  Read more about how I function in that role at the link below.
