I am a graduate of St. Francis De Sales ('00)! I attended St. Agnes Academy
for High School and then continued my education at Stephen F. Austin State
University. I graduated from SFA in December of 2008 with a degree in Child
and Family Development. I was a teacher aide for 2 years at SFA Early
Childhood Lab. I also worked at the SFA Charter School as an After School
Care Coordinator for 1st-5th grade. My first job out of college was at
Bethany Methodist Weekday School where I taught Infants and 3 year olds. This
will be my first year teaching at SFDS. I am very excited to start off the
new Pre-K 3 program and meet all of the new families. I love working with
children and I want to make this a fun and exciting experience for all the
little kiddos!
