Why did you become an educator?
Catholic education is the ultimate way to care for the whole person: mind, body, and soul. In addition, I value connectedness, curiosity, community, and the continued growth I experience as an educator.

What is your favorite quote?
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
-J.R.R. Tolkien

What is your favorite book?
Tattoos on the Heart, Fr. Greg Boyle, SJ

What I like most about OLF?

Going to soccer and baseball games with friends, cooking, skiing, scuba diving, and board games.
