School Staff Type: Elementary School

I have been so blessed to have the support of a loving and caring family. I grew up with 3 awesome older brothers who live close and who I get to see often.

My parents also live close to me and are so active in my life and the lives of my 3 children: Charlie (9), Ellie (7) and Annie (5).

My husband, Peter, and I love to be outside with our family. Whether it’s fishing, swimming or going for walks, we enjoy the outdoors as much as we can in all seasons!

I graduated from UWM in 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts in History degree and then went on to earn my teaching license from Cardinal Stritch university in 2010. After spending some years in the banking industry I moved back into education as a 4K aide in the Grafton School District. This job made me realize how much I missed working with children and being in a school environment everyday.

Favorite Things: Reading, Baking, Swimming, Pizza, Walking/Hiking, Spending time with family and friends, Cookies, Playing Sports, & Watching my kid’s activities.

I’m so excited to be teaching 4th grade this year! As a St. John XXIII alumni, I am so passionate about catholic education and the strong foundations it builds for children. I’m so honored to be a part of this school community!

Her and her husband Patrick are members of St. John XXIII. Patrick’s family has a long history in the Port Washington community. He is a proud graduate of St. Mary School.

She began her college prep at Mount Mary College and transferred and graduated from the University of Wisconsin Whitewater in education.

Her passion in the classroom is passing on the Catholic faith to her students.
