About Me

I am a graduate of St Wenceslaus School and NPHS.  

I received a BA from the College of St. Catherine with majors in Psychology
and Elementary Education as well as a Coaching Certificate.  But after turning
down an offer to teach 7th and 8th grade religion and science in a Catholic
school on the east side of St. Paul, I ended up in the health insurance
industry for 8 years.     
  
My teaching experience includes substitute teaching in the New
Prague/Montgomery schools.  I was originally hired at St. Wenceslaus School to
teach 2nd grade.  After teaching for 9 years, I was asked to move up to the
5th /6th grade floor where I taught 5th grade for 3 years.  I was again asked
to make a move - to the 7th and 8th grade level - to teach religion and
performing arts.  God has been persistent.  It is clear that this is part of
his plan for me.  I am happy.  In celbrating the sacrament of Reconciliation 
one day, I had an argument with the priest.  I told him that I had the best 
job in the world.  He argued that he had the best job in the world.  We agreed
to disagree.  But perhaps he was right.  

I do not know what God holds for me.  But right now I feel drawn to the arena
of social justice.  I am actively involved in our parish social justice
committee.  I advocate for our missions in Guatemala.  I have made 3 trips
there (1 adult and 2 youth).  I will be making a 4th mission trip to Guatemala
next summer and hope to be taking a team of adults from our parish.

I love to read and go for walks.  I do not like to file insurance claims!
