I truly love working in a Catholic school. I grew up going to Catholic grammar school and high school and love teaching in a Catholic community as well. I feel blessed to be involved in the community that we have here at SMA. My children both have attended St. Monica Academy and our family has developed many wonderful friendships here at this school.

I believe teaching is more than just academics but teaching to the whole child. I want children to develop a love for learning and a love for school. I want our students to be respectful of themselves and each other, and learn to develop their faith in God.
