She has taught grade levels PreK to 8th in Tennessee, Virginia, Illinois, and Georgia, as well as cooking for the sisters in our Motherhouse. She enjoys teaching at St. Rose in Birmingham, AL, and loves teaching 2nd grade. She finds joy in preparing little ones to open their hearts to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.
