Resource
I started my journey at St. Patrick’s when I was elected to the founding school board. I served on a variety of committees and volunteered as much as I could before I became a member of St. Patrick’s teaching staff. Before coming to St. Patrick’s, I taught for both the Archdiocese of Omaha and Omaha Public Schools. I have taught both Elementary Education and Special Education. I truly enjoy working with children and am thankful for the opportunity to be a part of St. Patrick’s teaching staff. My fulfillment in teaching comes from watching and experiencing my students’ successes. I am married and have 2 children. My husband, Matt, is employed by Omaha Public Power District at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Station. In 1994 I graduated from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln with a Bachelor’s degree in Education-Speech Language Pathology. I then worked with adults with disabilities in a group home. In the fall of 1995 I attended Creighton University for two years and received a teaching certification. I then began my professional teaching career in the fall of 1997. I have been with Loveland Elementary for 10 wonderful years. I started my position as a resource teacher for grades kindergarten through sixth grade. I taught for a few years as a resource teacher and then switched to the kindergarten classroom. I have taught kindergarten for seven years. I am now ready for my new adventure!
In my 10 years of teaching in a public school, I witnessed my students experiencing times of happiness, sorrow, separation and loss. All experiences are a result of God’s plan and its essential children know that God always loves us no matter what. I want to be able to reveal God’s love with my students; St. Patrick’s Catholic School provides me the opportunity to accomplish that with all my students.
I am thrilled to become a member of St. Patrick’s staff. I have waited for this opportunity and the time has finally arrived to become a member of this teaching staff.
My husband and I have been blessed with 3 beautiful children. Caroline, a second grader, and Jack, a first grader, are students at St. Patricks. Timmy, my four year old, attends preschool. My husband, Jeff, is a first grade teacher for Papillion-LaVista Schools. Education is very important to us, that is why we chose St. Patrick’s. We enjoy family outdoor adventures and our quiet movie nights as well.
