3K Teacher Aide/Middle School Exploratory Class Teacher
Share what you enjoy most about your role at St. John the Baptist School.
For 17 years I was on the parent side of the school as our four boys attended SJB. Now I get to be on the teacher side giving back to the families here, as I was once given to. I absolutely adore the littles and am blessed to be a part of their first experience with 'school'. I might also be nurturing my Gramma instincts as I prepare for the marriage of our son, coming soon!
How much does your faith guide you each day, or how has it shaped you into the person that you have become?
My faith is ever-growing and being at SJB reinforces how I strive to live every day. Following the golden rule, 'Do unto others and you would have them do unto you', has been my guide since adolescence. I am always a work in progress but surrounding myself with like minded people is a sure way to succeed!
What is your favorite hobby?
I love to run, go for walks with my dog Kazoo, bake and cook for my family, or get together with my friends for craft night.
Who is your hero or who has been an inspiration to you and why?
My hero and greatest life mentor is my high school volleyball coach Lynn LaPorte. Every time I would see her both in high school and beyond, she would give me a pep talk whether I needed it or not. :) She taught me to have the guts to go for whatever I wanted and made me very mentally tough. She is the reason I was brave enough to try out for the volleyball team at Marquette University in my sophomore year of college. (and I made it!) She taught me how important it is to feel a connection in all aspects of your life. Volleyball did that for me on more than one occasion. And it has propelled me to overcome a lot of obstacles in my lifetime.
What wish do you have for the students this school year?
I really want my students to have a great first experience with school and want to come back!
