This is my eighteenth year teaching Pre-K at St. Catherine's!  It is my dream job.  I love coming to work everyday.  No two days are ever the same in Pre-K!  I live in West Dundee with my husband Mark. We have two grown children: Madeline and Aidan. They are both recent college graduates and  they are both graduates of St. Catherine's too!

I graduated from St. Mary's University in Winona, Minnesota with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I earned my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University in River Forest, Illinois. My teaching career began in Schaumburg, District 54. There I taught First Grade for six years and Fourth Grade for three years prior to having my two children. I returned to teaching in 2005 as a Preschool Teacher for the Dundee Township Park District.  The following year I was hired as the Pre-K teacher here and St. Catherine's and the rest is history! 

When I am not at St. Catherine's you may find me riding by bike on the Fox River Trail Bike path, walking my dog, Holly, or enjoying time with family and friends. 

Once again, welcome to Pre-K!  I am honored to be your child's teacher. Thank you for choosing St. Catherine's for your child's  Pre-K4 year!
