This is my 10th year as St. Stephen’s Science teacher for grades 5 – 8. This year I am also teaching Grade 5 Reading. I have the additional duties of assistant to Mrs. Ende as well as coordinator for all Science curriculums in our school; supporting the other primary Science teachers.

 

I am the faculty adviser for our school’s National Junior Honor Society, the Scrabble Club, and co-adviser of the middle school Photography Club. I am also the School Banking Coordinator.

 

Since 2004, I have been the SSS representative to the Tonawanda/ Grand Island Teacher Center, serving on the Communication Committee.

 

I attended Canisius College and am a graduate of SUNY Buffalo.  I also have 15 years experience as an Industrial Engineer at Fisher Price Toys.

 

My son and two daughters are all alumni of St. Stephen School, Canisius High School, Holy Angels Academy, and all of them are graduates (or soon to be) of Canisius College. My middle daughter, who substitute taught here at St. Stephen’s, is now a 3rd grade teacher at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Niagara Falls.

 

I was also the Treasurer for the HSA at St. Stephen’s during the 2000 – 01 school year.
