Q. What kind of career did you have before you were a principal?
A. My career before I became Principal of P.S. 97 was that of an educator in a variety of areas. Being a teacher was my first position. I taught many different grades. I was assistant principal for 2 years and I also was in charge of a math program. I worked on a school leadership team, the CEP, and gave workshops for teachers.
Q.Why do you like being a principal?
A. I had been working with students for 28 years. I have taught kindergarten through ninth grade. It was suggested that I become an assistant principal.

This has had a rewarding impact on both the students I come in contact with each day as well as myself.

Q. Is there anything else you would like to tell us?
