TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
I enjoy educating the hearts and minds of our students and every day I am blessed to witness the uniqueness of every child. As a mentor, model, and leader in the lives of students, I am committed to pursuing the best practices in education. I want students to develop their mind, body, soul, and relationship with God. It is my hope that all St. Catherine students will develop a love of learning and maximize their gifts, talents, and leadership capacities to better serve God and others.
