I am the 6th Grade Homeroom teacher. I teach middle school science and religion and am the school counselor here at St. Michael. I have spent the majority of my life in Catholic Schools, as I attended Holy Redeemer in Burton for PS-8th grade, Powers Catholic High School in Flint, and now have taught for 8 years in Catholic Schools, 5 of which have been here at St. Michael. I attended CMU for both my undergraduate degree in secondary education with a major in Integrated Sciences and my graduate degree in school counseling.
I spend my time outside of work with my husband, Ryan, and our three boys- Novi, Henry, and Jasper. We love being with friends and family, playing board games, going camping and up north. In my "spare time" I also enjoy reading, crocheting, and volunteering at Ele's Place.
