What year did you begin teaching? How long have you been teaching at SJE?
(1971) I substitute taught here at St. John for 13 years. I taught at St. Valentine school in Redford township for 9 years and then I year at St. Pat's in Brighton, where I was the Art teacher. I began here full time in 5th grade for the past 81/2 years.
Why I am a teacher:
I never thought of being anything else. I love children. I love getting them excited about learning. I look forward to watching them grow and mature into successful young adults.

I love my fellow teachers and staff members. It is a pleasure coming to school everyday. The families I have met throughout the years have touched my heart. The children are priceless.
How your faith influences teaching:
I can bring my faith into all subjects that I teach. I hope that my love of God and obedience of the commandments and beatitudes shows through in all my dealings with students and parents.
