Experience: I worked for Word of Life as an instructional aide in the Resource Room at the Ascension campus for 2 years. In 2007, I worked as a full-time reading specialist for grades 6-8 at Lift for Life Academy in Soulard. I was also a preschool aide at St. John’s Lutheran School in Arnold.  In 2011, I came back to Word of Life to teach preschool at the St. Lucas campus.  The following school year kept me on my toes as I served in many different capacities at the Timothy campus, each of which I learned from and enjoyed greatly. Since 2014, I have found my calling to serve as our second grade teacher.
