Catholic education is...
Catholic education is one that not only focuses on the academics, but the whole person. It is important because we not only form the mind, but the heart as well. We grow in our Catholic faith together, and we build students into leaders.

Why St. Stan's?
St. Stan's is close to my heart because the person I am is due to what I learned, developed and flourished in the halls and classrooms of St. Stan's.

My teaching style is...
My teaching style is to build a heart centered classroom where we respect and care for one another and ourselves, where we are responsible, and where we are safe. My classroom is interactive and engaging. I love to use movement-based and hands-on-learning. I encourage my students to share their thoughts and ideas freely. I teach my students to speak up, be their own person and enjoy learning. As a class, we work together to be great leaders every day.
