I am so excited to be teaching the eighth grade class this year, along with fifth grade Social Studies. I earned my education degree from Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri. The following fall I began teaching at another Archdiocesan school for five years as the fifth through eighth grade math teacher as well as the sixth grade homeroom/social studies teacher. During my five year teaching stint, I became certified through the Archdiocese in Religious Education.
I am beyond thrilled to be given the opportunity to teach in such a wonderful environment. This school has such great support from its faculty, parents and pastor. I know that this is going to be a fantastic year of learning and fun!
