My Greatest Supporters

Thank you to my family for supporting me in achieving this lifelong dream of getting my credential. I want to especially thank my Cooperating Teacher, Lisa Matejka, and my Supervisor, Susan Clemo, who under the hardest of circumstances with Covid-19 took me under their wing for an entire year. I am forever grateful for their mentorship, support, and friendship. I truly learned from the best!

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory

My memories of Saint Mary's are many since I completed my undergraduate degree back in '93. I met my husband at SMC and we were married in the chapel in '97. Our dearest friends and fondest memories are from our college days so it was a given that I would get my teaching credential at the school where it all began!

My Next Chapter

It is my hope to secure a teaching position at the elementary school my daughters went to in Danville. I hope to make a difference in the lives of my future students.

Philippians 1:6 ...I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. God is a Faithful God, He will never start something and not finish it...
