When I travel I love to visit bookstores! This photo was taken in front of the famous Shakespeare and Company on the Left Bank in Paris. Although not the original Shakespeare and Company famously liberated after Nazi occupation by Ernest Hemingway, it is still a great little bookshop, nonetheless!

After attending the University of Idaho (GO VANDALS!) and receiving BA in English, I decided to pursue a career in education. It was something I had been considering, but to declare a new major and seek my teaching credentials would set me back a few too many semesters. Therefore, I enrolled at Boise State University (wearing black and gold to class each and every day) in the graduate program for English Education. There, I was able to earn a MA in English and work towards my certificate simultaneously.
My teaching career started at Mountain View High School in 2006, and eventually, because of my own experience as child attending Catholic school and being the parent of a child attending a Catholic school, I made the decision to apply to St. Ignatius and continue my career where I can openly put my faith into my teaching!
Being part of the inaugural faculty at St. Ignatius Catholic School has been the highlight of my 12 year career. It is a privilege to work with our dedicated faculty, our committed parents and community, and to guide my students both academically and spiritually into well rounded Christians prepared for high school and excited about giving back to their community.
WHY HUMANITIES ?
WHY HUMANITIES ?
Unlike other middle schools, St. Ignatius Catholic School engages our students in an interdisciplinary study of Humanities. We are committed to helping students reach their highest potential by affording them an opportunity to make connections between the literature they read, the historical periods they explore, and the world around them. Through inquiry and project based learning, students will demonstrate mastery of their writing skills, their historical thinking skills, and their ability to use analytical thinking to form opinions and support those opinions with evidence. These explorations will empower students to take and active role in their learning as they become thoughtful, engaged citizens who exemplify Catholic social teachings.
