With over 24 years of classroom experience, I am a dedicated and passionate educator at the intermediate grade level. My journey in education began long before my career— at a young age, I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. I even wrote about it in my 8th-grade journal. As a proud graduate of St. John’s (La Salle Academy) and Holy Name High School, I bring a deep sense of faith, connection, and commitment to my students and community. Teaching here is especially meaningful to me because my son is also a graduate of this school. He speaks highly of his experiences, a testament to the supportive and enriching environment we strive to provide for all students. My teaching philosophy centers around fostering a structured, supportive, and engaging learning environment where students feel encouraged to learn, develop, and succeed. I strive to bring a nurturing environment, a positive attitude, and high expectations to the classroom every day. Beyond academics, I believe in nurturing the whole child and instilling values, confidence, and a love for lifelong learning. I am always eager to inspire, encourage, and make a lasting impact on the lives of my students.
