What is special about what I do?  I have the great opportunity each school year to help each student find learning exciting and fun. If they can do this, they will desire to learn new things about their world, their faith, and themselves every day of their lives.

Teaching my faith everyday makes my job very special. The children need to know how special they are, and that God has given each one very special talents and He loves them very much.

What is special about Jordan?The Jordan community makes our school a wonderful place for our children to learn and grow. I am very fortunate to be teaching at Jordan Catholic School .

What am I most looking forward to this school year?  I’m looking forward to the completion of the new addition at Jordan. What an exciting time this is for us!

Hobbies:
