I am a happily married, proud mom of two daughters; one is a tween and the other one is a teenager! I have served as a catechist of the St. Joseph Parish since the fall of 2014 and have taught in most of the grades in our program. In addition, I have had the pleasure of directing our annual Christmas Pageant for several years. I hold a Master’s degree in Education and a Bachelor’s in Business Management & Administration, and I am fluent in Spanish. Originally from New York City, I feel blessed to be a member of a parish in which I feel at home.
