About Me

With a passion for both education and psychology, I want to help children develop social-emotional strengths, so that they are better equipped to apply these to the art of friendship and the pursuit of self-confidence. In this way, I expect them to develop a sense and a structure for their own individual voices as they become the leaders of their school, and representatives of their families in the years that follow. I feel blessed to incorporate our Catholic faith into social-emotional learning. I believe that this is a unique advantage our students receive and thank God daily for giving me this opportunity. I believe in lifelong learning and leading by example in my own family, and I will strive to be a strong, positive role model and to create a warm, welcoming, accepting and safe environment for all students. I am beyond grateful and excited for another year at Holy Angels. I will be completing my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an Emphasis in Marriage & Family Therapy in 2023.
