Favorite thing about St. Anne's: St. Anne's is near and dear to my heart. I have been teaching here for over 33 years and could not imagine a better place to spend my days. Walking onto campus, I always get a sense of contentment. My peers, the children I work with and the campus all bring joy to my daily life. I do believe that St. Anne's follows its own mission by "Educating Minds, Enriching Hearts and Expanding Horizons." I am blessed to be part of such an amazing place.

Why did you choose to teach? No two days are the same! Every day I come home from school with at least one story that made me laugh or smile. The daily hugs I receive from the first graders are genuine and make each day special. It is magical to get to know young children by heart and to help them to succeed.

Hobbies or interests outside of school: Spending time with my children and grandchildren, reading, and hiking.

Stuck on an island, what book do you bring with you?/Favorite book: Just one book? I need an entire library!
