What do you LIKE best about Sacred Heart Catholic Parish/School?  I love the community of friends, the excitement for our Faith and our School, and the welcoming environment that we have.  

How long have you been teaching/working here? I started working for Sacred Heart in Spring of 2014.   

What inspires the work you do?  The families!  I love seeing the joy, excitement, and sometimes relief on a new family's face when they enroll with us.  I love the happiness I see in our current students and families.  When I work really hard on an event we host or help coordinate a parish wide event, and all of our guests are laughing, mingling, and having a blessed time--there is such an overwhelming feeling of love that fills my heart.    

If you could pass any words of wisdom on to students/youth what would it be?  NEVER GIVE UP!  

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?  I love spending time with my family, watching Packer games and the NFL Network, watching movies, going camping, traveling, or just hanging out together.  I also love to do yoga.  I find great peace in baking and doing puzzles as well.   

What is your favorite movie/TV Show?  I love American Ninja Warrior and FACEOFF (sci-fi channel), and my favorite movies are Jaws, Guardians of the Galaxy, Pride & Prejudice, the Meg, Aquaman, Black Panther, and Aladdin (live action). 

What is your favorite food/meal? Blueberries, grilled chicken, asapargus, corn on the cob, smoothies, shrimp, salmon, and pumpkin pie.  

Is there a quote or saying that you live your life by? "Darkness cannot drive out darnkess..only Light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate...only Love can do that."..Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 
I also LOVE the sanging.."Progress NOT Perfection." 

What would other people be surprised to find out about you?  I am a HUGE Green Bay Packer Fan!!!  I collect Packer figurines, collectibles, posters, banners, and other items.  My entire living room is decorated in Packers.  I also really love to be outdoors.  I love participating in mud-runs, hiking in the woods, fishing, camping, boating, and nature watching.  There is great peace in God's Country.  Perhaps it may surprise people to also know that I actually have a Criminal Justice Degree in Law Enforcement.  I earned that upon graduating from High School, then furthered my studies in Early Childhood Education and eventually earned my Bachelors Degree in Education and receiving my Teaching License.  I taught 5th/6th grade for five years, took a year off to stay at home with my youngest daughter, then began at Sacred Heart Parish part-time in 2014.     

What is your favorite Biblical verse, lesson, or chapter?  

Psalms 46:5 

God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.
