ABOUT ME
Welcome to Mater Dei! This is my 42nd year teaching in Catholic school! I have known some of you for many years! But, just in case you don't know me yet, let me say that I am a graduate of both St. Stanislaus Catholic School (This year marks my "Golden Anniversary"!) and Lansdale Catholic High School. When I came home after college at Millersiville University, I returned home to St. Stan's. I taught first grade for six years, third grade for nine years, and was the Librarian for 16 years. I have also taught 4th grade ELA, 6th grade ELA, Honors ELA, and 7th grade Religion along the way. This is my tenth year in fifth grade! My husband and I celebrated 36 years of marriage before he passed away in 2021. We have 2 children; our daughter, Gabrielle is teaching third grade at SJR in Warrington and our son, Michael, is a finance manager at Fred Beans Ford. We have 2 four-legged kids as well, our dogs Jack and Rose. We are members of St. Stan's parish.

"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.
