Meet our Learning Specialists

Philosophy:

As an educator I feel that Jesus has called us to to welcome all children. As a teacher I must facilitate student learning by meeting their unique needs, developing their unique talents and creating an environment that is both accepting and challenging. I am guided by the virtues and the loving examples of Christ and strive to bring these into my teaching.

I have 30 years of teaching experience in Catholic Schools in the Houston, Dallas and Austin Diocese.  I have taught in first grade, fourth grade, Middle School and Learning Centers.
