I have been a member of this community for more than 25 years. I have three children who attended and graduated from HFS. My third child is currently a junior at Pope John Paul High School. I am an active member of St Mary of the Assumption Parish. I have lead the children's liturgy program, assisted the CRE with the religious education program and taught the second and fourth grade prep children.
I love teaching at HFS. It is truely a family-oriented community. I have been involved at HFS since my first child attended. I volunteered as a library aid, working in the kitchen, ran the book fair, helped as a homeroom parent and assisted as a substitute teacher until I was asked to join the faculty full-time as the third grade teacher. I look forward to working with my third grade students and their families. Together we will make this a great year!
In my free time, I like to take long walks with my friends, cook and/or bake with my daughter, watch movies with my family, read a good book and spend time with friends.I also love to visit museums and learn more about history
