I began working at Children's House Montessori in 2004. I have experienced may roles within Sacred Heart School during my time.

I received a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from SMSU and worked for various companies in the area. I received my Montessori certification through the North American Montessori Center. In addition to teaching, I added Financial Coordinator to my responsibilities. In recent years I became the Assistant Director and most recently in the fall of 2022, I became the Director of our Pre-K Montessori program. I sub in both Children's House and Sacred Heart Elementary when needed, as well as working with the children enrolled in our after school child care program.

"Never help a child with a task at which he/she feels he/she can succeed" Marie Montessori.

Some of my favorite things about working at SHS are the wonderful connections we make with the staff and our enrolled families.
