I teach:  7th Grade Social Studies and Religion

Number of years at Regis:  1st year!

Additional Regis responsibilities:  Volunteer -- help wherever needed!

Why do I enjoy teaching?
Developing knowledge and skills in Social Studies is vital in our society.  My goal is for students to be able to share their own viewpoint and better understand the beliefs, values, and political preferences of others.  I strive to challenge students to embrace diversity of thought and see today's conflicts through different lenses to better understand the world around us.

Why do I love Regis?  
Regis Middle School provides an outstanding combination of academic rigor, extracurricular opportunities, and Christian culture.  The Xavier Catholic Schools system as a whole has developed a strong community that supports students' holistic growth and development.  The people throughout the Xavier community truly embrace the sacrifice and service that are the foundation of Christ-centered education.  Like Jesus, Regis embraces everyone as a member of the Body of Christ.
