I love the feeling I get when a student gets a new concept or skill.

Growing up I had several teachers that provided me with a safe and loving atmosphere. Going into school each day my goal is to make sure each child feels safe when they are with me and that they know they are loved.

Ensuring my classroom is a safe, inclusive, and creative environment is the foundation of how I teach today.

“During my senior year at Pius my counselor Mrs. Fraiser helped guide me to the Education Program at UNO.”

“I love to help guide them in figuring out what their talents are, how they can use them, and what their options are after they graduate.”

” I learned best from teachers who saw my potential, and understood that I could be successful whether I ever understand an equation or dreaded story problem in math.”

“The never give up attitude the faculty at Pius taught us really helped shape who I am today.”

“I remember how I looked at my teachers as role models and positive influences on my life.”

“I have always said that being a teacher makes me a better mom, and being a mom makes me a better teacher.”

“I remember having an “aha” moment in March of senior year and knew that teaching was truly my calling.”

“I have had the opportunity to work in a small school where school IS truly a big family.”

“Having teachers that were joyful and authentic left a powerful impression upon me.”

“I tried to find something each of my students enjoys so that I can connect with them.”

“These students bring smiles, laughter, and a love for God that is very special.”

“I realized I wanted to be a teacher when I noticed the relationships I built with teachers as a student.”

“My students have shown me that God works in each person’s life differently.”

“It makes my day better when I see kids happy.”

“I remember having a moment of realization that I love learning new things.”
