Why I Teach at St. Michael School
St. Michael School has always been a part of my life. I am the third generation in my family who has attended St. Michaels school and my own children are the fourth generation to attend the school. This has given my family a foundation for success in life both spiritually and educationally. I am fortunate to have come “full circle” here at St. Michael’s this has been a my second home and family.

My Philosophy of Teaching
My goal each year is for each child gain a strong feeling of self-esteem and respect for themselves as well as others. This will encourage a love of learning and establish a good foundation for future learning. This builds confidence, creativity and a love for school while children learn in an age-appropriate way.
