ABOUT ME
Welcome to Pre-K 3A and Mater Dei Catholic School! This will be my sixth year teaching at Mater Dei and my 23rd year teaching Pre-K in a Catholic school. I am a graduate of Gwynedd Mercy University where I received a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a Master's degree in Reading. I am PA certified in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, and as a Reading Specialist. I have two sons who attend Mater Dei Catholic School. This year, Jeffrey will be in 7th grade and Jaxon will be in 4th grade. I have a huge love for animals. I have a Chihuahua named Paco, a Chihuahua mix named Gibbs, a Chiweenie named Louie, a Standard Poodle named Shirley, a parrot named Fred, an Axolotl named Lily, two parakeets named Kiwi and Sky, and many fish. My family are members of St. Stanislaus Parish in Lansdale. I am thrilled to continue my journey at Mater Dei and I am looking forward to a wonderful year with your children.

"Peace is Built in the Heart"
Pope Leo XIV’s words remind us of a powerful truth: peace doesn’t start in the world around us—it begins within each of us. It is shaped by love, nourished by prayer, and strengthened by our desire to live as Jesus taught.
At Mater Dei Catholic School, we embrace this call to be peacemakers. Pope Leo’s message speaks to everyone, but especially to our children, who are growing into the people God created them to be. When peace lives in our hearts, it flows into our words, our choices, and our relationships.
When every heart becomes a home for peace, then our school, our homes, and our entire community can become places of kindness, forgiveness, justice, and joy. Pope Leo is calling us to be different—to build peace through the way we live, speak, and treat one another each day.
This year, let us journey together as builders of peace—rooted in God’s love, guided by His truth, and strengthened by His mercy.
