I am joining St. Stephen this year as the 5th grade homeroom teacher. I also teach social studies to Grades 3-5. I feel very blessed to be joining a staff and community like St. Stephen!

I graduated from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale with a bachelor's in elementary education. I also have endorsements in science, social science and language arts. I have 18 years of teaching experience within the St. Louis Archdiocese. I started my career at Sacred Heart Villa on the Hill, spent several years at St. Ambrose on the HIll, and most recently taught at Holy Child in Arnold. I have taught Pre-K, Kindergarten, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade.  After transitioning to intermediate grades in the last few years, I've learned that is where I belong!
