About The Teacher
I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Education, with a Lifetime Elementary Certification from the University of Missouri and hold a Masters Degree in Education from Webster University. I taught 5th and 6th grades in the same elementary school for 14 years in the Ferguson-Florissant School District. I also have Religious training, DWP training,am Spire certified, and taught 2nd grade PSR at Cure of Ars Catholic Church for 9 years. This is my 5th and a third year here at Incarnate Word Parish School. I am married and have one son and one daughter. Our children attended both Catholic grade schools and high schools. We have a Loyola University graduate with an accounting job in Chicago and a sophomore daughter at Missouri University in Columbia. While I took a break from teaching to be a "stay at home" mom, I did all the voluntary jobs that so many of you do: ran a volunteer high school bookstore, was head room mom, chairman of the class fundraiser, Girl Scout leader for 9 years, Boy Scout merit badge counselor, edited the yearbook, and Bellarmine speech judge. In my spare time,I enjoy cooking, exercising, reading and spending time with my family and friends.I truly love teaching and I am thrilled to be teaching your 2nd graders here at Incarnate Word Parish School.
