I am honored to serve as Principal of St. Joseph School, beginning my tenure on July 1. With more than 15 years of experience in Catholic elementary education, I have dedicated my vocation to fostering both academic excellence and the spiritual formation of every child entrusted to our care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My career in education began as a Kindergarten teacher at St. Mary School in Alexandria. For the past 14 years, I taught first grade at St. Cecilia School in Independence. During my time at St. Cecilia, I was blessed to contribute to curriculum development, mentor fellow educators, and support community engagement initiatives. I am especially proud to have been part of the team whose collective efforts helped the school earn recognition as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Education from Bellarmine University, a Master of Arts in Education from Northern Kentucky University, and a Master of Education & Administration from Xavier University. These experiences have shaped my understanding of instructional leadership, organizational management, and the mission of Catholic school governance.
My husband, Bob, and I, along with our three children, are parishioners of St. Cecilia Parish in Independence. Our faith community has played a central role in our family\u2019s life, and I am grateful to continue serving within the Diocese of Covington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Principal, I am deeply committed to strengthening St. Joseph School\u2019s tradition of academic excellence, spiritual growth, and service to others. I look forward to partnering with our faculty, families, and parish community as we continue forming young minds and hearts in the Catholic faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
