Hello!  This is my 11th year teaching at SMV.   I am a mom of 2 boys and a cat.   My parents, especially my mom, instilled the gift of Faith in me from an early age and I am grateful to be able to teach and instill the Grace of God to my students.  I love coming to work each day knowing that my colleagues and families share the same values.  When I am not working,  I enjoy spending time in nature and being with friends and family.

This is my 11th year at SMV.  I am married and have 2  adult daughters.  I also have 4 dogs and 4 cats.  I love working with children.  I went to Catholic grade school K-8 as did my kids.  I feel that it really helps give kids a strong foundation.  In my spare time I volunteer at a cat sanctuary and a Lab rescue group.

I am so excited to be starting my 15th year at SMV!  I've been in early childhood for 24 years and believe in the power of learning through play!  I have two adult children who are both triathletes, inspired by my triathlete husband of 34 years, Mike.  We are members of St. Joe's Parish in Wauwatosa.  In my free time I like to attend exercise classes at the Y, ride my bike on rail trails and read.  I am a big sports fan and follow the Brewers, Badgers and Georgia Bulldogs.  My daughter has both an undergraduate and masters degree from UGA, in case you were wondering where the extra team came from. Go Dawgs!
