This is my fifth year at St. Clare, my third year teaching Kindergarten.  I grew up in this community and was part of this parish before the three combined and now a part of St. Clare Parish. I completed all my Sacraments at the Greenleaf site, and I hope the same for my children.  My husband and I live in Greenleaf with our two daughters. I have a BS in Nursing from Marian University, and my Masters in Elementary Education from Concordia University. 

What I love about Catholic Education and the St. Clare Community:

Catholic education allows students to gain a deeper understanding of God and how they can use their faith to support them through life. I personally have gained a passion for teaching in catholic education  by being able to witness these little disciples everyday spreading the good news.   Students get a daily reminder of how God is in our lives. I love St. Clare Community because people are always willing to lend a hand or offer prayers to each other during a time of need. We come together to teach our students to be kind and follow their faith filled journey.
