Favorite Thing About Frassati Catholic Academy:
I love the opportunity to help students grow academically, spiritually, and as active members of the community. The collaborative and supportive environment among staff, students, and families is truly special.

About Me:
I am passionate about fostering leadership and civic engagement in students. In addition to teaching, I lead students in programs like Model United Nations and Youth in Government, where they learn about global diplomacy and legislative processes. Outside of school, I serve as the President of the White Bear Lake Lions Club, supporting various community service initiatives. I also enjoy traveling, camping with my family in Grand Marais, and exploring historical landmarks. Fun fact: I have an identical twin sister, and we’re mirror twins!
