I am originally from the Great Lakes State of Michigan. My desire to teach began very early in life because I was surrounded by teachers who modeled the joy of learning at St. Juliana’s Catholic School in Detroit, Michigan. I was privilege to attend a Catholic school until 6th grade. This is where I discovered the beauty of God in nature, art, and learning. In 1989, I received my Bachelors of Science at Western Michigan University majoring in Special Education K-8, with a minor in Integrated Creative Arts. I began to work on a Masters degree in Early Childhood; however, God had a different plan for me; instead I received a "Masters in Motherhood."
I have been blessed to be married to my wonderful husband, Greg, for 33 years now and we have raised three fine young men together.
I am passionate about teaching and learning and believe it is a gift to be able to incorporate our faith throughout the curriculum. Teaching students ranging from kindergarten through eighth grade for over 20 years in both private and public schools has been a delight. The discovery of Immaculate Conception Catholic School in 2001, when my family was relocated to Texas, was the reason we decided to settle our roots in Denton, Texas. I have been at ICCS now for 14 years. “For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.”(Lk 12:24) My heart is certainly here.
