My Catholic faith and family are my most precious gifts from God. The Holy Eucharist is my strength to fulfill my vocation as a wife, mother, grandmother, and teacher. The joys of my life are my loving husband, my four beloved children, my special son-in-law, daughter-in-law, future daughter-in-law, and my adorable seven grandchildren.

This is my 22nd year of teaching at my alma mater elementary school, St. Joseph, York. I began teaching at St. Joseph as the Art teacher. Following one year as the Art teacher, I implemented our Instructional Support Program, and continued in that position for four years. Teaching Second Grade and the Sacramental Program for the past 17 years has brought immeasurable grace and joy into my life. The relationships I build with each student and family are a gift I will always cherish. I am humbled to be God's instrument as I teach His little ones.
