Years at St. Matthias Parish School: 3

I am excited to be teaching first grade at St. Matthias School! I chose St. Matthias because of its strong Catholic values, welcoming community, and commitment to helping each child grow academically, spiritually, and socially. I feel blessed to be part of a school where faith is at the heart of learning. My teaching journey began in K5 at St. Rita School before continuing at St. Bernard/Wauwatosa Catholic School, where I taught K3, K4, K5, and second grade. I also had the opportunity to spend several years as a stay-at-home mom to my son and daughter. Outside of school, l enjoy spending time with my family. We love traveling, going to ball games, sightseeing, and making memories together. I also enjoy taking walks to relax and recharge. I look forward to helping my first graders grow in faith, confidence, kindness, and a love of learning each day.
