Julia is honored to serve as the Director of First Presbyterian Church Nursery School. Deeply rooted in the community as both a Ridgewood native and former Ridgewood Public School teacher, Julia strives to ensure children are at the center of learning at First Presbyterian Church Nursery School.

Interacting with children has always been a huge part of her life. After receiving an undergraduate degree from William Paterson University with a BA in Elementary Education, Julia immediately went on to teach First Grade at Willard Elementary School in Ridgewood.  For the past thirty-four years, twenty-six of which have been right here at First Pres., Julia has continued fulfilling her joy of teaching.

​

She is excited to continue on this adventure, looking forward to partnering with parents and children to ensure a rewarding First Pres. experience.
