I graduated from Michigan State University with a B.A. in Elementary Education and minors in English and Communications. I also have a masters in Reading and Literacy from Marygrove College. I taught kindergarten through third grade in Walled Lake and Grosse Pointe. I stayed home to take care of my two children, and started a Children’s Ministry at our parish. I then spent a year teaching preschool at The Neighborhood Club before starting here at St. Paul! I love helping children fall in love with school, and learn all about God and the world around us.
