St. Francis Xavier School

I grew up in the small town of Enosburg, Vermont. I went to St. Michael’s College (SMC) in Colchester and graduated in 1995 with a degree in journalism. I met my husband, Chris, while at SMC and we were married in their beautiful chapel on October 5, 1996. After an eight year career providing marketing support for an international group of laboratories, I was blessed to be able to be a stay at home Mom to our five incredible children. When our youngest child entered kindergarten, I followed her and began substitute teaching in the school. The following year I was hired as a paraprofessional and provided 1:1 special education support for a variety of students.

When our two youngest children transferred to SFX in 2017, I began substitute teaching here. In 2018, I was hired in the role of Academic Resource Teacher and it is by far the best job I have ever had. In 2023 I added an additional role to my resume as the 7th Grade Homeroom teacher. Working at SFX is like coming to work at my second home and with my second family every day. I see my role as helping each student find and celebrate the individual strengths that God has given them.
