I always knew I wanted to be a teacher and had faith that God would place me where I belong. I am blessed to be a member of the St. Thomas Aquinas community since 2008. As a Catholic school teacher I am able to foster both academic and spiritual growth in my students under the schools mission of a, “School community that strives for academic excellence in a faith-filled Catholic environment that encourages children to reach their full potential and become lifelong learners.” In my classroom we become teammates that encourage each other to do our best in all we do.

I am also fortunate to be a parent of a current student. I believe the blend of faith-based education gives children a strong foundation to become positive members of their community with a strong knowledge of their faith. I am proud to teach and have my own child in a school where we serve God and model Christ’s message of love daily.
