Bachelor of Science in Education: Certifications Grades Prek-8. Minor in Psychology with an emphasis on child development, anticipated by Spring 2024

I have been a member of St. Clare Parish my entire life. I attended St. Clare Catholic School for 7 years, and I graduated from Wrightstown High School in 2020. From a young age, I realized that I had a passion for helping others, specifically young people. This led to my decision to attend the University of Wisconsin Green Bay where I am pursuing my degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Psychology. I will graduate in the Spring of 2024, and I am very excited to see what my future holds. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I love spending time outdoors and on the water fishing and boating. Being a part of the St. Clare community truly feels like family. Within this parish community, my family and I have formed lifelong friendships and memories.

What I love about Catholic Education and the St. Clare Community:
My favorite thing about St. Clare's is the feeling of family among the students and staff. We truly all care about each other and want our students to be the best version of themselves everyday. Additionally, at St. Clare's I have the opportunity to form meaningful relationships with all our students which ultimately enhances their academic and spiritual journey. Our community comes together in times of need and in times of joy to pray and celebrate, which makes it a pretty special place to be a part of.

I appreciate Catholic Education because it teaches our young people more than the traditional education system. Catholic Education teaches our students morals, values, and ethics that follow our faith. Through Catholic Education, we are molding respectful, responsible, and resourceful young adults that will create a positive impact.
