Barbara graduated cum laude from City University of New York with a B.A. in English and has graduate credits from Rutgers University. She earned a Distinguished Scholar A.S. in Nursing from Brookdale after four years as an evening student. Before receiving teaching certification from Kean University, Barbara worked in New York as a Senior Editor in the School Book Departments of Harcourt Brace and Macmillan publishers over 12 years.

A native Manhattanite, Barbara attended Immaculate Conception Elementary School and St. Jean Baptiste High School. She currently lives in Howell and is a communicant at St. Robert Bellarmine Co-Cathedral in Freehold. Barbara enjoys reading, writing, herding cats, defeating difficult Sudoku puzzles, watching eagle cams, singing, driving a stick shift, losing her iPhone, and making her students laugh. Of all the things she's done over the years, Barbara loves teaching the children at St. Ambrose the most!
