My background in Catholic Education began with Holy Rosary in Kenosha, WI. I loved my experience there and my teachers were amazing. I felt called to be an educator and thought that I would go the music teacher route, as singing brings me joy. But, God had other plans. My Madrina (Godmother )Ana Alicia shared with me the love of all things Spanish and Argentine and I realized that I wanted to teach the language and culture that she loved. I wanted to share this love with others and realized that teaching was the best way to do this. A chance encounter with an old friend and a relative of another led to the start of my career with St. Matthias and I am excited to now start my 3rd year with my Bulldog Family. My husband Eric and I have two children, Dominick and Olivia and we have a furry friend named Taffy too. Me encantan libros, música, y baloncesto. Music, books and basketball are my favorite things; along with cooking as there is something about preparing foods for others that really makes me feel that I am helping others.
