My family and I were led to St. Mary’s just 6 years ago when we moved here from Madison, Wisconsin. It has always felt like “home”, and I hope as a teacher at St. Mary’s School, I am able to help others feel as welcomed as I have felt.

My hometown is a small town in Wisconsin, called Milton. The youngest of nine children—a big farm family--we were influenced by my mother’s love of the church and my sister who was severely retarded. Many of my family members grew up involved in some aspect of education, which I believe was fueled by years of making sure our sister was well-educated despite her special needs.

My undergraduate degrees in education are in the areas of Learning Disabilities and Mental Retardation, and my Master’s
degree is in Reading (Reading Specialist). When I moved to Illinois, I also gained certification in the area of Behavior Disorders.

Over the past 15 years, my experiences as a teacher have been from small, rural districts to large, inner city settings, each providing much joy and learning. Raising a family with my husband, Dewey (children: Cassie, Brittany and Tanner) has helped me to gain insight into parenting and caring for children.

I am currently involved with the Women of Faith group within our parish, and have worked with Vacation Bible School. Taking part in the November Cursillo weekend will be a highlight of this year. I look forward to continuing to welcome others into the St. Mary’s faith family.
