What she enjoys most: “I love teaching children and being able to teach in a setting in which I can share my faith is a gift.”

I taught at a private school in Chicago and later at a private school in Raleigh, North Carolina while my husband attended graduate school.”

“My husband, Russell, and I met at USC. We have four children! Our oldest son is a sophomore at SMU in Dallas, Texas. We have two kids currently at JSerra Catholic High School; a son who is a senior and a daughter who is a freshman. Our youngest son is in seventh grade here at St. Serra. We have a female Golden Retriever named is Cally. I love spending time with my family. We play a lot of tennis and like to spend time on the water. My favorite sports teams are the New York Giants and the Chicago Cubbies! I also root for 'SC, DePaul and UNC every chance I get!”
