I began teaching middle school students at Sacred Heart, my childhood parish and alma mater, in 2018. I also work with the faith formation programs in the parish, including the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and preparation for First Sacraments. My husband Ryan and I were married at Sacred Heart in 2021. We’re parents to Vivian, our daughter in Heaven, and Theodore, who fills our days with joy.
My key conversion moment was when I was a student at Sacred Heart, and I had a powerful experience of God’s love at Extreme Faith Camp through Jesus in the Eucharist. That is when I began to create a habit of prayer in my own life. I know that God can do great things in the lives of my students as well.
I support my students in growing their relationship with God by helping them understand God’s goodness and unconditional love and their dignity from being created in His image and likeness. Daily prayer and the Sacraments are critical for helping the students be faithful disciples. In my experience, students crave the peace that comes from time with God!
