ABOUT ME

Welcome to Mater Dei!  This is my 40th 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 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 ninth 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.

Seek Jesus in Others
"Seek Jesus in Others" is our focus for the new year. The creation story teaches us that God did not intend for us to live in isolation, but more importantly, we are made for each other. "Seeking Jesus in Others" reminds us to find the good in one another and to validate each person's dignity. By focusing on our relationships with one another, we will continue to create a sense of belongingness for all community members to mirror our hallmarks of Faith, Excellence, Service, and Community.
