This is my fifth year teaching at Notre Dame of De Pere, and I am very excited to make it a great year! I love to challenge the kids to get them to the edge of their seats when I’m teaching. I like watching the kids grow, succeed, and become better people knowing I was a part of their journey. In my free time, I enjoy singing and leading worship at my church and playing volleyball. I enjoy spending time with my husband - camping, playing volleyball, watching movies, etc. My favorite part of this summer was spending time with my son who was born in June.
