I am delighted to be a teacher at St. Mary School.  It is exciting to be back in Pre-Kindergarten after teaching second grade for a few years.  My teaching experience also includes many years as a substitute teacher in Kindergarten through grade five.  My philosophy of teaching is to engage students as active learners on their educational journey.  The goal is to encourage students to love learning!  They will be guided and supported as they grow academically, spiritually, emotionally, socially, and physically.  I am looking forward to working with you and your child to give him or her a wonderful learning experience in Pre-Kindergarten.  Let's create spectacular memories to be cherished for a lifetime!
