Began teaching at St. John in 2015.

Favorite Subject
I love to teach reading. It’s a joy to see students connect to literature and get excited about books.

Why I am a teacher
I am a teacher because every single day a teacher is given the opportunity to inspire others, laugh, learn, encourage perseverance, have fun, and lead. Teaching is a venue for me to help each and every child feel successful, smart, worthwhile, proud, and cared for.

Why I like teaching at St. John
The answer is same for me as a parent of alumni of St. John and now part of the faculty – the community. The community of parents, teachers, staff and parish is what truly sets St. John apart.
