Philosophy on Education:
I believe education should be centered around the students. All students learn differently and all accept challenges in different ways. My goal is to provide a safe, organized, and respectful environment where the students are comfortable to come to me and ask questions, and share their thoughts. As an educator, my number one goal is to get to know each and everyone of my students's interest and learning styles, so I can make math meaningful for them. It is also important to challenge young adolescents because this will allow them to grow. I believe that at St. Martha all learning should be centered around our Catholic faith. We shall call upon God to help guide us in this journey to grow in our relationship with Him and being disciples of His Word.

What is your favorite school tradition?
My favorite school tradition is the Veteran's Day Assembly. St. Martha does a great job recognizing those who have fought for our country by providing a video presentation, mass, and reception.
