I am in my twelfth year at St. Pius X

I enjoy teaching at St. Pius X because of the creativity that I am allowed to bring to the students concerning their book and reading choices. 

I am on the Intermediate grades selection committee for Young Hoosier Book nominations for the year 2017-18 and 2018-19.

St. Pius is a wonderful place to teach because of all the great people: teachers, students, parents, staff and administrators.  The parish is very supportive of the school and all it’s programs!

I am in my 2^nd year at SPX

What I love about teaching at SPX is the feeling of community each time I walk through the doors.  We (parents/staff) are all here for one common goal and that is to offer the best educational experience with Catholic faith, leadership skills and sense of family.

This is my 4^th year at St. PiusX

I enjoy sharing my passion for art, creative drama, storytelling and movement with the St. Pius student body because they are eager to learn new things, and use their imaginations in myriad ways.

I have a Masters Degree in Education and spent a decade as a professional performer on cruise ships and resorts all over the United States. I have also taught for two years in Bogota, Columbia  and moved to Indianapolis from Charleston SC where I taught in  fine arts programs for 15 years. I look forward to tapping into and encouraging the creative potential and Godly spirits of all the children at St. Pius X.

“Art should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further…it celebrates humanity.

I like teaching at SPX because I feel connected to the families here; we are one family united in Christ.
