~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am a proud native of our beautiful, century old, state of Arizona and an alumnus of OLPH, class of '98! I have been ministering to middle schoolers and high schoolers for over ten years with The Edge Middle School and Lifeteen High School Ministries at St. Patrick's Church and have had the privilege of teaching for three years within the public school system at Paradise Valley. Incorporating my love for our Catholic faith, youth ministry, and teaching within the classroom has been a dream of mine for years. Being back at my childhood home, OLPH, and being a part of so many wonderful families' lives is a true joy!

I believe classroom experiences should be engaging, fun, challenging and supportive. It is my goal to uphold my students, their parents/families, and myself to reaching this full potential.
