How long have you worked at Central Catholic?
This will be my fifth year at the school as a “staffulty” member.

What is the best kept secret about Central Catholic?
Central Catholic is a special place. It's not really a secret that we're a family, but it's definitely something you have to experience - as a student, parent, teacher, staff member, coach, alumnus - to understand. I truly believe CCHS puts the "unity" in our diverse "community."
What inspired you to become a teacher/administrator?
While it wasn't in my original plan, I truly believe God led me to teach at CCHS. Looking back, my mom reminds me that I have been playing "school" with my friends and siblings since I was little. I've been blessed to have my love of learning fostered by incredible teachers from my time at Lial, CCHS, Hillsdale, and Notre Dame. It's a challenge and an honor to be able to do the same for a student.
What do you like most about working at Central Catholic?
The students at Central Catholic are my favorite part of the job. They make the work we do rewarding, as I see God's image reflected in them daily.
