About The Teacher

Helllloooooo Saint Joe!  I am excited to submerge myself into your community as I begin my ninth year 
of teaching art, but my first year with your students.  I was born and raised in South Bend.  I am a 
graduate of Indiana University Bloomington and have worked in two area Catholic Schools since 
graduating.  While I leave behind many great experiences, friends, and memories, I look forward to 
getting to know an entirely new group of students and families.  I have been married for 6 years to Josh, 
a Purdue graduate, so needless to say, we have a house divided!  We have, an enthusiastic 4 year old 
daughter, Ava, and a hilarious 2 year old son, Leo.  Our 5 year old puggle, Oscar, puts up with their 
antics on a daily basis.  
A few personal preferences...I love spending time with my family camping, walking, bike riding, and 
going to Farmer's Market.  I'll do just about anything to get ice cream.  I can't get enough of quaint 
towns and clearance racks.  I wish fall was a year round season and caramel apples were sold by the 
bushel.  But I digress...
Looking forward to meeting you!
