Philosophy
Learning is a life-long endeavor. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to create and maintain an environment where students feel secure enough to explore and attempt new ideas. My goal is to give students the technological tools they need to succeed academically in a rapidly changing 21st century.

I love coming to school every day! I truly enjoy watching the students grasp a new concept, make a new friend and realize that they have gifts and talents to share.

Philosophy
I believe each child was created by God and given unique gifts and talents. By recognizing these gifts and talents, I can vary my lessons to help each child reach his/her potential socially, spiritually, and academically. The children learn in an organized, positive, fun, respectful, and loving environment.

I enjoy working at Mater Dei Academy because every day I am given the opportunity to make a difference in a child’s life. I enjoy having the responsibility of laying the foundation for spiritual and intellectual growth in the Catholic community. Each day I am given the opportunity to work with phenomenal students, parents, colleagues, and administration. I am truly blessed to have a job that I love!

Philosophy Education is a necessity in life. A Catholic education is a gift. We need to embrace the gift and help the children learn to the extent they are capable of in a caring atmosphere.

Mater Dei Academy has a dedicated, thoughtful, caring, intelligent group of teachers and staff to help children grow.  It is rewarding to see all of our efforts at the end of each year by how far our students have grown and matured.
