Family highlights:
My husband, Mark, and I have been active at Notre Dame Parish and School since 2014.  Our son, Thomas, graduated from Notre Dame last year and now attends Fenwick High School.  Our other son, Andrew, currently attends Notre Dame.  We have two wonderful dogs, Shelby and Willow.  

The impact of faith:
My faith has shaped who I am as a person and who I am comes out in my teaching everyday.  I try to be a fair, loving, kind, and compassionate teacher so that my students feel comfortable to learn, make mistakes, share their thoughts, and grow in my classroom and at Notre Dame School. 

Free times and pastimes:
I like to spend my free time reading, crafting, walking our dogs, and spending time in Michigan with family and friends.  

Favorite quote/philosophy:
''The right perspective makes the impossible possible.''
