PreK - 8 Physical Education and Health

How long have you been teaching at SJS and what is your educational background?

I have been working at St. Joseph School since 2019. I attended UWRF and received a Bachelor’s Degree in K-12 Physical Education with a minor in Film Studies.

Why did I become a teacher?

I always loved the school environment and saw how teachers worked together to make a difference. Combining that with my passion for health and fitness, becoming a Physical Education teacher was a natural choice.

Why do I love working at SJS?

SJS feels like education in its purest sense. The focus is on bettering students, making them feel safe and welcomed, and providing a great education. The strong community and small class sizes allow for meaningful connections with students.

What does student success look like to me?

It’s not about being the best at a sport—it’s about trying your hardest, enjoying physical activity, and understanding the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

Favorite Sports Team or Hobby?

I’m a Wisconsin Badgers fan through and through! I also enjoy exercise, outdoor activities, and spending time with my boys.
