I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a concentration in adolescence and child psychology from Capella University and a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Immaculata University.  Over the years, I have received extensive training and various certifications in Catholic youth ministry, additionally, I am a master catechist. 

I began my career as the director of Youth Ministry at my home parish, St. Philip Neri, serving students in grades seven through twelve.  I served as a catechist teaching 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades for over 20 years. I started as a substitute for SMS in 2021, teaching all grades, PreK through eighth. This year, I am the 8th-grade homeroom teacher, teaching 5th through 8th-grade Religion, and 7th and 8th-grade Science. 

I am thrilled to be a part of the learning experience with your children.  I am excited to guide our students individually so that each will achieve success through Christ.
