So very glad to be back to STM. A quick thank you to the STM community for its generosity in every way during last year. Your support and love gave me strength. I am very grateful and very happy to return!

~Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever~
I am the proud mother of three STM graduates and I am extremely fortunate to live my faith and teach my passions on a daily basis. My primary goal in teaching is to help students realize who God wants them to be and to live as the best version of themselves.
I am enjoying my fifteenth year teaching at STM. Our Social Studies classes are full of adventure and activities about our world. We study Geography (6), World History (7), and Early American History (8).

Words of Historical proportion. The sixth grade class recorded words, in the order of importance, of things that made the world the way it is today. Not as easy as it sounds!
A great trip to Camp Joy with the 6th grade. We were blessed with great people and wonderful weather!
