I attended St. Paul for grade school before graduating from Providence High School in 1995 and then Indiana University Southeast in 2000 with my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a Kindergarten Endorsement.
I taught one year in Louisville before joining the SAS family in 2001. I began teaching 2nd grade here, before moving to 3rd grade. In 2008, I left to stay at home and raise 3 children. Once they were older, I stayed active in the school community by subbing and taking over temporary positions in various grades at St. John Paul. When a 3rd grade position became available at St. Anthony's, I was excited to come back and once again teach at St. Anthony School.
I have been married to her husband, Garrett, for 16 years. We have three wonderful kids, Audrey, Harrison, and Ava. In my spare time I love reading, watching Hallmark movies, watching IU basketball and football games, and Colts football games. I also enjoy cooking, taking walks, and hanging out with my family. A fun fact about me is that I volunteered in the St. Anthony After School Care when I was a junior at Providence High School.
Educational Statement
My goal as a teacher is to help all students be successful both academically and personally. I use many teaching techniques within my classroom to help all students learn to their highest potential. I plan to create a Christ Centered classroom environment where students are excited about learning. As a teacher, my goal is to challenge each student throughout the year to help them improve as much as they can. I use the Indiana State Standards and the Religious Standards to help guide and plan my instruction. The focus on these standards ensures students are getting the quality education that is expected.
