I grew up in a town in Southern MN about two hours away from La Crosse. I am the youngest of four kids, who are now scattered in MN and TX. I graduated from UWL in 2021, and ultimately decided to stay in town. I found my way into education as an elementary school teacher at Blessed Sacrament, and fell in love with it. The Lord has definitely called me to the classroom. Aquinas is a family, and I am so excited to be a Blugold here at Aquinas Middle School. When I am not in school, I enjoy reading, writing, painting, making rosaries, playing board games with friends, visiting family, and baking new desserts.

MY CLASSROOM
My classroom is a place of encounter. When we come to know more about God, we come to love Him. When we come to love Him, we are compelled to serve Him in our neighbors. Knowledge, love, and service are at the core of the Religion curriculum. My hopes is that in through our academic study, interaction and discussion with peers, reflective writing, projects, and prayer, we will encounter the person of Christ and be more sensitive to His presence in our lives in and out of the classroom.
