About the Principal

Welcome to St. Francis of Assisi School! I am honored and excited to be the 
principal at SFA.  It has been a pleasure getting to know the faculty, staff, 
and families of this magnificient parish.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself.  I am originally 
from Avoca, which is located in the northeastern part of Pennsylvania between 
Scranton and Wilkes-Barre.  I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Marywood 
University with a B.S. in Elementary Education and minors in Special 
Education and English.  I received my Masters Degree in Educational 
Administration from Gwynedd-Mercy College.  In addition to my role as 
principal, I am also a member of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s Elementary 
Mathematics Curriculum Committee and the Middle States Elementary 
Commission.  I also serve as a Safe Environment Facilitator for the 
Office of Child & Youth Protection.  I am extremely excited about the new 
school year and I look forward to working with you and your child!

I firmly believe that all children are unique and have special gifts to 
offer.  At St. Francis of Assisi, we will be constantly striving to do our 
best work as well as cultivating our talents in order to share them with 
others.

As you get to know me, you will come to see that I am avid sports fan 
especially when it come to our Philadelphia teams.  Here are some of my 
favorites:

Favorite Candy: Sourpatch Watermelon Slices
Favorite Color: Green (I am 100% Irish.  What else did you expect?)
Favorite Flower: Daisies
Favorite College Sports Teams: Notre Dame Football & Duke Univeristy 
Basketball
