Welcome to my website! I love being a teacher and have taught several
different grade levels including Foreign Language. Teaching is my passion!
I love to see my students' faces light up when they learn something new, or
feel a touch of success. It is an honor that you have entrusted me to teach
your child. 2 Teach is 2 Touch Lives 4-Ever!
On a personal note, I graduated from Silver Lake College in 1995. I
continue to pursue graduate credits in various areas of interest to keep up
with my teaching license. I have traveling credits for spending time studying
in Mexico City as part of receiving a minor in Spanish. I incorporate
Spanish and my trip experiences into my classroom lessons quite often. In
the future, I hope to earn a Master's degree in Educational Leadership. I am
currently a Student Council Advisor and work with the students, staff, and
community to serve others.
My husband and I have two sons. We love to camp,
snowmobile, watch sports, and spend time outdoors. I enjoy stamping,
scrapbooking, shopping, and reading. I am a huge Green Bay Packer's fan and a
Chicago Bear's fan. I know, I get teased often, especially when they play
against each other! I enjoy watching and attending Brewers games and enjoy
keeping up with Nascar driver stats. Mostly, I love spending quality time
with my three guys!
I absolutely love my profession! I have been teaching at St. John the
Baptist School for many years and have enjoyed every grade that I have
taught. It is a pleasure working with the rest of the staff whom I consider
to be my extended family. All of the students that attend S.J.B. are pretty
special and I have enjoyed getting to know so many families through the
years. What a blessing it is to teach in such a caring and Christ-centered
environment!
I believe that all children can and will learn with the proper tools and
guidance. Though there are a variety of knowledge levels and backgrounds
within each classroom, a teacher needs to meet each individual level and
background. This can be accomplished by working one on one, differentiating
my instruction, learning to be more multiculturally minded, and providing
children with a variety of hands-on experiences. As a teacher, one goal of
mine is to respect and teach each child to my best ability. In summary, as a
responsible, well-rounded individual, I feel I can give each child a chance
to grow both mentally and physically, to challenge them, and to meet their
educational needs.
Being in a religious environment like St. John the Baptist Catholic
School is an added bonus. I promise to do my best to Model Christian-like
behavior, share in the Word of our Lord, allow for us to pray together,
attend Mass, and guide the students along in their Catholic faith. Learning
to follow in Christ's footsteps should help the students to become better
Christians ready to serve the world in Christ's name.
