Mrs. Hecht grew up in the same part of Long Island as Billy Joel. He actually used to practice at her parent's house before they owned it!

How many years have you been a teacher at Haycock?

This is my fifth year here.

How many years have you been teaching altogether?

Twelve years!

What  do you love about Haycock?

I love my teammate [Debbie Robinson]. She is an absolute dream to work with. I could not imagine working side-by-side with anyone else. I also love the spirit days at Haycock. I feel like I can totally be myself here!

What books are you currently reading?

My go-to authors are James Patterson, Mitch Albom, Sophie Kinsella, and Mary Kay Andrews. I cannot wait to get back to [leisure] reading as soon as I complete the 30 hours beyond my master's degree.

What other media entertains you?

I love a good reality show, crime show, or docuseries. My favorite band is Linkin Park, but I also love listening to 1990s-2000s dance music.

What fills your time outside of school?

My hobbies include running and working out. I love spending time with my husband and daughter. I love seeing family when I can.
