I am excited to begin my 21st year of teaching this school year. While I have been teaching for over 20 years, this school year marks my 3rd year as part of the St. Veronica family as the 7th grade English, reading, and religion teacher. I received my BA in English with a Certification in Education from Northern Kentucky University, MA in Education Administration from Xavier University, and MA in Literacy from Georgetown College. I believe that teachers are coaches who need to inspire students to be the best they can at all they do in life. I reside in Batavia with my husband and two children who are currently students at St. Veronica. In addition to teaching I enjoy vacationing with my family, playing cards, playing tennis, and attending local sporting events.
