I am delighted to be part of St. Thomas Aquinas staff and everyone here has been so welcoming! I couldn’t have asked for a better place to be doing what I love to do! I have wanted to be a teacher since I was 8 years old. I remember playing school with the neighborhood children, and of course, I had to be the teacher.

I love that I get to teach my students about the greatness of God’s love for them! Teaching our youth about our faith is even more important in the uncertain world we are in. Making our faith a way of life through prayer, attending Mass together, and discussing what it means to love like Jesus is a way for us to come together as members of one family: God’s family.
