Began teaching in 1999 and began teaching at St. John in 2001.

Favorite Subject:

Why I am a teacher:
"I became a teacher because I wanted to help children learn to survive in this world and learn about God."

What I like best about teaching at St. John:
"I like the close and supportive community at St. John."
