Even as a child, I called Catholic Schools home. I attended St. Margaret Mary Grade School, went on to Divine Savior Holy Angels High School, and received my Bachelor of Arts in Education from Cardinal Stritch University. For 28 years, I taught at St. Alphonsus School before moving to the St. Monica Community. I have experience teaching 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. I especially enjoy teaching Math, Social Studies, and Writing.

I have a passion for teaching! I foster a growth mindset in my classroom by encouraging my students to believe in the power of yet – they have not mastered the skill yet. I help all learners by designing differentiated instruction for my students in all subject areas. Most importantly, I create a faith-filled, dynamic classroom community. I am very enthusiastic, creative, and I love what I do.

My family and I enjoy traveling to the beach. I love reading and spending time with my family and adorable beagle, Kenzie.

Years at St. Monica: 4 Years

Years of Experience: 34 Years
