About Me
Bio:
I’ve attended Catholic Schools from 1st grade through 18th grade (grad school)! My first experience was at St. Francis Elementary school in Rochester. My grandfather worked at the school. My cousins and siblings attended and many neighbors and teachers went to church there. My first-grade teacher was important part of my early learning and growing faith life. I also count our 9th grade English teacher and my high school baseball coaches among my role models from those formative years. I’ve cherished the chance to give back to Catholic Education and hope to continue adding my piece to the faith community. I first taught fifth grade in NE Minneapolis at Saint Pope John Paul II Catholic School (4 years) and later at Our Lady of Grace Catholic School (15 years).
