Began teaching in 1998 and at St. John in 2002

Favorite Subject:
"My favorite subject to teach is reading.  Books open the doors to many adventures. Students are so captivated with both fictional and non-fictional reading.  I feel fortunate to pass on my passion for reading to my students."
 

Why I am a teacher:
"I am a teacher because I love making an impact on students' lives.   Teaching is a profession that offers great joy and satisfaction everyday.   Being a teacher also provides me with the opportunity to be a life long learner.   Each year my students teach me more than I have taught them."

What I like about teaching at St. John:
"From the moment I walked in the door, St. John School felt like a strong community.  Parents, teachers, and administration work together to support and foster student learning and growth.  I feel very fortunate to be a part of this wonderful family!"
