I completed my student teaching in December of 2023 in a kindergarten classroom. I finished out the school year as an intervention specialist and gave one-on-one/small group instruction to students who need a little extra help. In the summer of 2024 I taught summer school to incoming 5th graders. In the fall of 2024 I joined the staff here at St. Joan!

Growing up, I always wanted to be a teacher and now I am living that dream!
