Professional Background

I have been teaching for 5 years now in both Catholic and Public Schools. I spent my first 2 years at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School in Richmond Virginia. The last 2 years before coming to OLGC I was working at Holman Middle School in Glen Allen Virginia. I have done work for Veritas School as well, working as an assistant cross country and track coach.

Faith in Action

I put my faith into action by simply trying to live the Christian faith as an example. I aim to show how one can be successful, happy, and joyful as a practicing Catholic to encourage others to follow a similar path. I put an emphasis on Church History to show that the Catholic Church was the one holy and apostolic Church that Christ founded.
