Background:
I am a local girl at heart! Born and raised in Berwyn, I attended St. Norbert’s School and graduated from Villa Maria Academy High School. After high school I spent 4 years at Fairfield University in Fairfield, CT where I majored in both history and education. My inspiration to become a teacher was born of my fondness for both the Little House on the Prairie books and TV series. As life has its twists and turns, I entered the business world after college. I worked in banking for a few years and then as a marketing director for a manufacturing company for 15 years. I might be the only elementary school teacher you know who has an MBA!
Finally, 6 years ago I made my way back to the field that has my heart: education! There is no doubt in my heart and my mind that I was meant to be a teacher, and I have no doubt that I was meant to be at St. Pat’s. Go Warriors!
Personal:
I am the proud mother of 4 sons, ranging in elementary school age to high school age. Also, I love to go to the shore. I am an avid bike rider and I also love to walk my dog.
One Thing I Want Parents to Know:
It is my personal mission to instill confidence in every child that I meet. I truly feel that when children feel confident and loved that they will grow to their fullest potential. In combining confidence, an excellent education, and our Catholic faith, St. Pat’s students are given the tools to make their incredible, indelible mark on our world.
