Communications · Education · Apps

I help people and communities connect.

I teach Italian. Before that, I ran communications for a Catholic high school for ten years. Now I also consult for parishes and schools, and I build apps.

About

For ten years I ran communications at a Catholic high school in New Jersey, the last three as Director of Communications. I rebuilt the website, grew the email list from zero to more than 6,000 subscribers, and got the school into the diocesan newspaper at least once a month. I’ve also done communications work for a Fortune 500 company.

I teach Italian. I was named New Jersey World Languages Teacher of the Year, and I have an M.A. in Educational Leadership.
