I am married to Scott and together we have three daughters: Maria, Rosa, and Pearl. All three of our children have or are currently attending ACS. In my leisure I love to study and read; especially books on educational theory/methodology,  theology, and books on the lives of the saints. I enjoy running, hiking, watching football, cooking, and sleeping.


Favorite quote: "The Glory of God is Man fully alive." St. Irenaeus.

Favorite Saint: Saint Joseph

MY CLASSROOM

My central goal is to create a classroom family that supports and challenges academic and spiritual growth. My classroom is a structured and predictable place. My methodology incorporates manipulatives, movement, art, and music to facilitate learning. I incorporate religious education across the curriculum and focus on virtue formation as a secure route to grow academically, socially, and spiritually.  


I feel called to the vocation of teaching young children because they exhibit the same tremendous wonder I feel when learning new things. I like the rhythm of the school year and being able to incorporate and celebrate the liturgical calendar along with my students.
