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. Jaime Ann Patel.  I am the third grade teacher at Divine Mercy Academy.   I have many years experience teaching grades 2-4 in public and private schools. I married my high school sweetheart 20 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.
