ABOUT ME
In 2021 I joined Mater Dei Catholic School assisting in the middle school Learning Resource Room. It allowed me to use my skill set and be near my own children who attend Mater Dei. I have a Master's Degree in Learning Disabilities from Northwestern University and have worked one-on-one with students and in small group classrooms. Before coming to Mater Dei, I was an itinerant teacher in the Archdiocese of Chicago. I also taught a Project Based Learning class at a small private school in the Chicago area. I am excited to be joining the 7th and 8th grade team and teaching the students that I have gotten to know in the last four years.
I have two children, and as a family we participate in many Mater Dei CYO sports. You may see me out on the fields coaching some of our younger athletes in track, or cheering on the older athletes. If I am not volunteering, coaching, or teaching, I am likely on a trip to a warm destination, or to Chicago to cheer on the Cubs! But after almost 6 years here, I'm starting to turn into a Phillies fan!
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.
