It has been my privilege to be part of the Saint Joan of Arc  community for 16 years. Before coming to Saint Joan of Arc,  I taught at Christ the King School in University City for 10 years.  I taught 5th through 8th grades Religion, Social Studies, and Language Arts and served either as the 5th or the 7th grade homeroom teacher.  My very first teaching position was at Saint John LaLande in Blue Springs Missouri where I taught Middle School classes of Religion, Social Studies, and Language Arts for 3 years.

 

I hold a BA in Psychology, and a Masters in Education, from the University of Missouri St. Louis and have a Career Administration certificate from the state of Missouri.

 

Children are our future and deserve the highest quality education so they can learn and grow in order to reach their full potential. I choose to teach in a Catholic school system where faith permeates everything. It is a blessing to be able to pray with the children and the faculty and to be able to witness our faith in action. Children, teachers, parents, the people of our community and the wonders of creation all inspire me. In my free time, I enjoy jogging, yoga, gardening, reading, and spending time with my family.
