ABOUT ME
Hello! Welcome to Kindergarten! This will be my twelfth year teaching elementary classes. I graduated with a BS in Early Childhood/Elementary Education from Temple University and I have a Masters of Education, with a focus in Special Education. K-3 is a classroom community and beyond the daily academics, we will learn about accountabilty, responsibility, and sharing compassion with one another.
In my downtime, I love traveling and sightseeing, spending time on the beach, practicing yoga, reading, and of course taking on adventures with my family. As a family we strive to help each other and look to God for guidance as we encounter each day. I will instill these same values as we take on this journey in K-3. I'm looking forward to an amazing year ahead!
Mater Dei Catholic School
"Love in Action is Service"
Saint Teresa of Calcutta, known as “Mother Teresa,” was an Albanian-born Indian Roman Catholic missionary and nun who devoted her life to helping those most in need. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in India in 1950, and for over 45 years, she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying. Mother Teresa served those who were most vulnerable and made many sacrifices to help others. She devoted her life to serving those in need without judgment.
Saint Teresa of Calcutta once said, “Love in Action is Service.” The Mater Dei Catholic School community will embrace Mother Teresa’s philosophy throughout the 2024 -2025 school year. We will learn more about Mother Teresa’s service to God’s people and strive to follow her example by serving others both within and outside of our school community. By focusing on creating a sense of belonging for all members of the Mater Dei community, we will mirror our hallmarks of Faith, Excellence, Service, and Community.
