Educational Background: I graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science.  I attended Kean University for graduate school and received my Master’s Degree in Public Administration.  I hold Standard New Jersey Teacher certifications in both Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education.

A Little Bit About Me: My name is Mrs. Jaime Ann Patel.  I am the third grade teacher at Divine Mercy Acadmey.  I married my high school sweetheart 20 years ago.  We have three amazing children and an adorable Coton de Tulear.   We reside in Rockaway and 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,  jogging, cooking, baking, reading, and shopping.
