What year did you begin teaching?
I taught kindergarten until I married and moved to Michigan. I then took a teaching sabbatical and traveled with my husband. Thirteen years ago I realized how much I missed teaching. I was the teacher and director at Agnus Dei Academy until the school closed in 2009. I have been at Holy Family since 2010.

Why I chose to become a teacher
I have loved school for as long as I can remember. I played ‘teacher’ to invisible children from the time I was in kindergarten. Sharing my faith and my love for learning with my precious children is my number one goal.
What I like most about teaching at Holy Family
I want to teach in a school where I can share my faith. I could teach at a school around the corner from my house, but I choose to drive 25 miles to Holy Family where God is first. The staff is wonderful and makes Holy Family a real family.
How your faith influences teaching
I try to incorporate my faith into all aspects of my curriculum. I tell my children that whenever they think or do something good that they are letting Jesus shine through their heart.
