Muriel attended Charlestown Senior High School and after graduating in 1963, she relocated to Jersey City, New Jersey. She then started working for Metropolitan Life in New York, then went on to work for Bamberger’s in Newark, NJ. In 1981 Citadel of Hope Academy was born and Muriel shared her time and knowledge to developing the students of Citadel Academy as a devoted teacher.
