Hi, growing up I attended Menominee Catholic Central (presently JPII). I graduated from Saint Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin in 2013. For the past seven years I have taught 4K/kindergarten at All Saints Catholic Academy in Ironwood, Michigan. For five of those years I was also the lead teacher of the school. While at All Saints I worked with children infant – 6th grade through our before school, after school, summer care and Little Lambs Daycare. My goal as an educator is to instill the love of learning and a deep faith at a young age so the students can become faith filled lifelong learners. All Saints Catholic Academy closed the elementary school at the end of the 2020 school year. I feel very blessed to continue my teaching career with you at Holy Name in the Diocese of Marquette.

I have a great love for my Catholic faith. I have a deep devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe and Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

When I’m not at school I enjoy reading, kayaking, bike riding, and taking my dog KC on walks with my husband, Chris. We got married at Our Lady of Pines in Copper Harbor in 2015. We would love a large family when God sees that it’s the right time to bless us with one. Family is very important to me whether it be relatives or my school family. I am always there to support and help.

I also love to travel and have taken many trips to different parts of the world including Central America, Europe and Australia. I hope to travel more in the future.

I am so excited to be able to join the Holy Name team. I can’t wait to meet you all in person.
