I have been part of the CGS Early Childhood Program for 16 years. For 14 of those years, I taught in our 3-year-old class, and for 11 years, I also have taught in our Wednesday Enrichment class. In 2021, I transitioned into the role of Director while continuing to teach two classes. To devote more time to the administrative needs of the program, I stepped away from the 3-year-old class; however, I couldn’t fully leave the classroom behind. Along with my role as Director, I continue to teach in the Wednesday Enrichment class.

As Director, I oversee the daily operations of the Early Childhood Program, coordinate staff, and work to ensure a safe, nurturing, and faith-filled environment for all the children entrusted to our care. I support our teaching staff as they discover new and creative ways to enhance each child’s learning and development while remaining rooted in our Catholic faith.

My goal is to create a loving and welcoming environment where children and their families feel that our church is truly their second home.

My husband and I have been parishioners since the summer of 2000. We have been married for 36 years and have three grown children, who have blessed us with three wonderful grandchildren (so far).
