Why Catholic education?
Catholic faith is very important to our community and without it, children can't grow spiritually with God.

Why St. Stan's?
St. Stan's Academy is a very diverse community of students and faculty. I really like the Polish immigrant history of St. Stan's. It's symbolic of the immigrant, melting pot history of the United States.

My teaching style is...
My teaching philosophy involves helping students develop their curiosities and passions about learning, so that they have the desire to keep learning outside of the classroom and teach themselves.
