Educational Background: I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree  (BA) from Rutgers University and a Master's degree in Public Administration (MPA)  from Kean University.  I hold Standard New Jersey Teacher certifications in both Elementary Education (Kindergarten - Grade 6)  and Early Childhood Education (Preschool - Grade 3).

A Little Bit About Me: My name is Mrs.  Patel.  This is my seventh year teaching third grade here at DMA.  I married my high school sweetheart 21 years ago.  We have three amazing children and an adorable Coton de Tulear.   We are parishioners at St. Cecilia Church.  I knew I wanted to be a teacher ever since I was a little girl and I truly love my job.  When I’m not teaching, I love spending time my family, reading, jogging, cooking, and decorating.
