About Your Teacher

I have been teaching at BVM School for most of my teaching career because it is the best place to, “Learn, grow and worship.” My favorite grades to teach are 4th, 5th, and 6th. My favorite subjects to teach are Social Studies and ELA. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading, and walking my dog. My favorite foods are pizza, cheeseburgers, ice cream, and chocolate chip cookies.

Mission For The Class

Our class mission is to treat each and every student with respect. We
strive to become responsible individuals. Each day our goal is to be the
best we can.
