Years at St. Matthias Parish School: This will be my first year

I started teaching for Milwaukee Public Schools in 2000 and retired in 2022. I mainly taught middle school science or 3rd grade. I was also a member of the Doerfler school learning team and the math teacher leader for several years. In 2024, I went back to teaching 3rd grade at Lumin. I enjoy sports. I coached recreational sports for about 15 years at MPS. I love watching the Packers, Brewers and Badgers. I enjoy reading and listening to music. I attend a lot of concerts. My family has a cottage in northern Wisconsin and I like to shop, fish, bike, hike and rock hunt while there.
