Background:
I have always known I wanted to be a teacher ever since my high school years, when I participated in a program that places students in a preschool setting to gain experience working with children. I knew then, I had found my career! Working with children was my passion!
In 2014, I became active at St Patrick School as a student teacher, a substitute teacher for many grade levels, and gained more opportunity working with multi age children in C.A.R.E.S. Soon, I was assigned to my very own classroom, and for two joyful years, I taught PreK 4 at SPS.
This year, I will be teaching 5th grade and I am very, very excited. I truly believe that Saint Patrick’s is the best school. Saint Patrick School and Church have always been a special place to me considering it is my home parish, and I have received all of my sacraments here.
Personal:
When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family. We have our weekly pasta dinners together where we share stories of our week and laugh about memories. I also love reading. My favorite time to read is before bed. My favorite time of the year is around the holidays. I love spending time with my family enjoying delicious food, listening to music, and decorating the house. I am from an Italian background so food and family are very important to me.
One Thing I Want Parents to Know:
I want my classroom to be a comforting space for your child. With the changes happening during this time I would like all my students to feel welcomed and safe in my classroom. 5th grade is such a fun grade to teach and I want to make it as enjoyable for the children as I can. They will be learning a lot of new information, but I want them to have some fun with it as well.
