Professional Background
I have been a teacher for 14 years. I left teaching in FCPS when I began having my children. In the time I was home with them, I taught art lessons and served as the Youth Minister at OLGC. When my five children were old enough and all in school, I returned to teaching, but this time at OLGC. It is the perfect marriage of my teaching and Youth Ministry experience.
Faith in Action
As the Middle School Religion Teacher, it is literally my job to live out my faith in everything I say and do. Modeling my faith in a way that encourages my students to grow in theirs is both an honor and a great responsibility. We pray first, love second, and the learning comes from these.
Favorite Teaching Moment
I love seeing the moments when students realize God is involved in their life through an answered prayer or a reading in scripture that suddenly makes sense.
Favorite Food
I love all food, but have a particular weakness for dark chocolate.
Favorite Activity Outside of School
Spending time with my family, gardening, and making art
Fun Fact About Me
I have been a member of the OGLC community for my entire life. I attended OLGC grades 1-8 and have been in the parish ever since.
