What inspired you to become a teacher?
My science teachers both in junior high and high school really fueled my passion to work in the field, and I came to realize my passion for teaching when teaching French to elementary-aged children in college.

What made you want to become a teacher at Central Catholic?
I came to CCHS during 8th grade visitations when I was younger, and the school made a lasting impression on me.  Once I moved back to the area, I knew I wanted to teach at the high school level and Central Catholic was one of my top choices.

What are your impressions of CCHS so far?
The students are some of the most inspiring groups of young adults I have ever worked with.  The staffulty is so supportive of each other and passionate about what CCHS stands for.
