About
My role as the Director of Faith Formation is to oversee and administrate (design, develop, direct and evaluate) religious education for all levels of catechesis, children, youth and adults. I also provide leadership to assist the parish community in building a solid foundation for adult spirituality, Christian living, ministry and outreach. I have worked for St. Mary and Sons of Zebedee since 2014.
I have a Bachelors of Science – Psychology from UW-Madison and also gained certification as special education teacher. I gained experience and grew deeper in my faith while serving on committees and being employed at St. Mary’s Immaculate Conception, West Bend, WI. This led me to answer positively to God’s calling and gain employment at this parish. I have completed many courses in Faith Formation and earned a certificate in Leadership.
I enjoy working in this parish community. The rural, small-town atmosphere reminds me of where I grew up.

Favorite Saint
My favorite saint is Saint Teresa of Calcutta, also known as Mother Teresa. She valued treating all humans with dignity and gave her life to serving the poor. She also reminds me to not be judgmental and to love people for who they are, children of God.
Favorite Bible Verse
“Be Still” – because in this busy secular world, it is often hard to find quiet. This serves as a constant reminder to slow down and spend time with God.
Random Fact

Hobbies
I like photography and capturing God’s beauty in moments of time.
