Personal: As a proud alumna of St. Mark Catholic School, I am truly blessed to serve in a place that has always felt like my home away from home. This community helped shape the person I am today, and it’s a privilege to give back by supporting the students, families, and staff who make our school so special. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching my daughters play sports, being outdoors, and reading up with a good book.

Philosophy of Education: My philosophy is to enable each child to reach their full potential in a safe, respectful atmosphere that fosters a love of learning. 

Mission Statement: As a member of the St. Mark Catholic School staff, I will be an example of respect, honesty, and faithfulness for all students. I will strive to be an effective leader every day and encourage a healthy and faithful attitude among students.
