Favorite Quotation:
At times, the wisdom, inspiration, or even humor that I get from
reading a quote helps guide me through the day. A quote I particularly
like and that inspires me comes from Mother Teresa. "We cannot all do
great things, but we can do small things with great love."
Why I Teach:
I teach because I want to try and make a difference in the lives of
today's youth. I want to help build on their strengths, encourage them
when they are feeling down, and share a laugh with them when they need a
friend.
Education:
I have a BS in Human Relations and a MA in School Counseling. I have
Teacher Certification for Special Education Grades 1-12, General
Education Grades 1-8, and School Counseling Grades 1-12.
Where I Have Lived:
I have always lived in the Dallas area. I currently live in Sachse with my husband and daughter.
My Professional Experience:
I have taught for the Catholic Diocese of Dallas for 11 years at both
the elementary and middle school levels. I left the Diocese for two
years, but I “came home” as soon as I could!
My Family:
I have been married for 18 years. We have one daughter who is a middle
school student at St. Joseph. We have a puppy named Trixie and a Glofish
named Electra.
Something you might not know about me:
I once won first place in a Charleston dance contest. Yes, I wore the flapper costume and all!
My prayer for my students:
Loving Father, my future sometimes seems distant and unknown. Give me, O
Lord, the vision to see the path you set before me. Grant me the
courage to follow your way, that through the gifts and talents you have
given me, I may bring your life and your love to others. I ask this
through Jesus’s name.
Amen.
