I will be the new librarian and assisting with Instructional Support. I attended Holy Family elementary school and Cardinal Brennan High School. I received

my BA from Bloomsburg University in Anthropology with a minor in Latin American Studies and Spanish. I went on to teach English as a second language to elementary students in Mexico. I then studied at Highlands University in Las Vegas, NM for my Masters in Anthropology/ SW Studies where I also taught numerous college courses. During my time as the City of Santa Fe’s Senior Planer/Archaeologist I went on to receive a Master’s Certificate from the Department of Architecture and Planning at the University of New Mexico. I have spent the last two years working as a Permanency Specialist with KidsPeace where I work one-on-one with children ages 3-18 to help them process grief, loss and trauma associated with placement in the foster care system.

I am a proud mother of three boys, all who attend HNJ. I have coached Girls On The Run at HNJ for the past two seasons and will be coaching again this fall. My home parish is HNJ.

I am an avid reader and spent many years working part time for an independent book store where I assisted in many author events and readings. I am a Penn State, Phillies, Eagles and Red Sox fan, as I lived for some time in Boston. I enjoy gardening, traveling with my husband and boys, the beach and being outdoors.

I am excited to become part of the HNJ faculty and look forward to instilling in the children a love of books and passion for reading.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you; Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight; Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten; Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.”

Holy Name is family and home to me! I love when we do the skeleton project in class or when we act projects out in Social Studies class. Anything where the students get to show off their creativity!
