Preschool Staff

I love everything about preschool: the curious little minds, the adventurous spirits, and the sweet little hearts of all of my children! I feel so blessed to be a part of St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Preschool.   A Michigan native and Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, graduate, I earned a BA in Early Elementary and a Kindergarten Endorsement. I was a kindergarten teacher in Westlake for Eanes ISD, but also have experience with early elementary and special education in Galveston, Texas, and South Bend, Indiana. I most recently taught Pre-K for 6 years in Austin.  My husband and I have been married for 15 years.  We have two children: a son and daughter. Our family also consists of a dog and cat. I look forward to meeting your little ones and making them an extended part of my family as we learn and grow together—and have a whole lot of fun doing it! 

Our teachers must complete 24 pre-service training hours when initially hired.  The content covered in the courses meets DFPS, Child Care Licensing standards for Texas child care providers. Lead Teachers and Assistant Teachers must also complete at least 24 hours each year of early childhood continuing education training.  All teachers are CPR and First Aid certified.
