Ellen Hudak is our Social Worker/Case Manager. She has been a school social worker with North Hanover School District since September of 2014 and was also with the Tinton Falls School District for 5 years. Prior to working in the school setting, I have had several years experience working in Early Intervention as both a Service Coordinator in both New York City and New Jersey as well as a Social Worker and Developmental Interventionist in New Jersey. I currently hold my School Social Work Certification as well as a certification in the state of New Jersey. I have my Master's Degree in Social Work with a concentration in Families and Children. I also hold a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work. I am a member of the National Honor Society of Social Work and a member of the New Jersey School Social Work Association. Part of my experiences within the school district is to work with the Intervention & Referral Service (I&RS) Committee, case manage, complete social histories as well as working collaboratively with teachers and administration to help students achieve academic success.
