Hello! I am so excited to be part of the awesome St. Mary family of staff, teachers, parents and students! I have been in education, grades K-8, for 20 plus years. I have taught in three states and on an island, in public, charter and christian school environments. I found my calling in the last three years to be working with middle schoolers. I very much enjoy the 6th-8th graders and I love to learn from them as they are learning from me! Teaching language arts, literature and social studies is my passion and I'm excited to have added 6th grade science to my subjects as well. I am married to an educator and we have two children- a high school son and a middle school daughter. We enjoy the outdoors and traveling, and are life-long learners. We find comfort in Christ being at the head of our household. I am very happy to be in a school setting where Christ can be at the head of the classroom as well.
