Background:
I have a Bachelor of Science in Secondary English Education.
What I like about BCHS:
I love that BCHS is my home away from home. I have been a member of this community since I was a student (2001-2005). It is rewarding to be back at Bishop Chatard teaching. I look forward to coming to work every day. I also like that each day I am encouraged to grow in my Catholic faith.
Favorite BCHS Moment:
I loved being involved in the Theatre program as a student. Being the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet holds a particularly special place in my heart because that was the year the cast performed part of the show at the Regional Thespian Conference.

Background:
I earned my B.F.A. from Herron School of Art and Design and my M.A. from the University of Indianapolis. I have studied Art at Changsha University in China and I am a working and showing artist. In the summer I bring Art to children in the underserved neighborhoods of our city.
What I like about BCHS:
I feel blessed to be working in a faith based environment and I feel that we are encouraged to teach the whole student here. There is something very calming and centered about beginning each class with a prayer. Chatard has an atmosphere of family and our students feel like we care about them on an individual basis. I did not grow up in this area, and yet, I feel like I also have found a family.

Favorite Quote:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen
...Prayer of St Francis
