This is my 10th year at SMS and my 8th year teaching preschool here. The warm, caring community is what keeps me here. I love developing and challenging the minds of the littles. I want them to feel loved and safe, every single day. My favorite part is having students whose siblings I’ve already had!!

I have enjoyed being a part of the SMS community for the past four years. I enjoy sharing my faith and love of learning in a fun and welcoming classroom. I enjoy seeing the children grow closer to God and develop kindness through sharing and helping others and sparking curiosity.

This is my 3rd year at Saint Mary School. I teach because I enjoy making learning fun andI love seeing the smiles on my students faces. I want my preschoolers to feel safe and loved and to walk into the classroom each day knowing they matter and that they belong. I want each child to grow in confidence, curiosity, and joy, while exploring, asking questions, and making mistakes because they know that’s how we learn.

This is my 7th year at Saint Mary School. I adore working with our youngest students. The joy on their faces when they grasp a new concept and the pride in their eyes with each new success is truly heartwarming. I feel blessed to be a part of their achievements.
