What keeps you at POP?
I come to school everyday with a great devotion not only to teaching but to teaching the Catholic faith. I believe that being able to teach young children about their faith in a school setting is a wonderful gift. Second is also extra special to teach because I get to be apart of their Sacraments. I understand and see great importance in building a child’s social-emotional skills, faithfulness, and academic skills as the foundation to teaching and developing the whole child. This is why I love Prince of Peace.
Any hidden talents?
In high school I use to ring hand bells with 2 other girls. I could ring up to 15 during one song.
