Teaching Experience
I began teaching at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, Miami Florida in 1994. I returned to Michigan in 1997, and I started teaching at Holy Family in 1998.
Favorite Subjects
I like school a great deal, so all subjects can be fun. The ones I most enjoy right now are Science and computer/tech.
Why I chose to become a teacher
Teaching is in the blood: my family members have been teachers for at least 4 generations (as far as we know)! We all love to learn and find any way possible to share the joy of learning.
What I like most about teaching at Holy Family
I adore the true family atmosphere here at Holy Family. My co-workers, the families, and students are engaging, driven, and involved in all aspects of our community. Many of my present students, I’ve watched grow over the years and by the time they are in 6thgrade, I am very excited to become their teacher.
How your faith influences teaching
My faith is a guide that reminds me we are all humans learning to live the best lives possible by following our Catholic teachings and having a close relationship with God.
