“I enjoy the opportunity to teach at St. Pat’s. Being able to continue the education of our youth in the same classrooms as I did ten years ago is a full circle experience that I relish in. I appreciate the opportunity to get to know the students and their families that is unlike many other school experiences. I look forward to seeing each student grow in and out of the classroom into young adults as they begin their life’s journey.”

“I love teaching middle school students because I get to see ah-ha moments! I get to share my love of mathematics and science with the students and allow them to know they can be successful. Students at this age need to know that people have faith in them and they can make mistakes, but they should never give up. Middle schoolers are amazing!!”
