I began substituting at All Saints Academy, mostly at the lower campus in music. I am honored and blessed to be a member of such a  kind and caring staff as well as having the privilege to teach the students here at ASA!

I am an avid horse person.  It all began when I was 4.  My family lived in Fort Collins, Colorado and bought a donkey (a mammoth jack) named Hubert.  We moved back to Michigan, where my brother and I saved our money and with the help of our parents bought our first Shetland pony, Smokey. I grew up taking riding lessons, going on trail rides, practicing and going to horse shows with my brother, Dan.

I also enjoy taking pictures.  Someday, I would like to have a huge telephoto lens along with a compatible camera.
