I have been teaching at St. John the Baptist Catholic School since 2001. As a St. John's graduate, I have had the opportunity to teach with some of my former teachers. They have taught me in the past and continue to teach me to this day!
After I graduated from St. John's, I attended New Haven High School in which I graduated in 1994. Shortly after, I began taking classes at Indiana University - Purdue University, Fort Wayne. I received my Bachelor of Science in Education from Indiana University - Purdue University, Fort Wayne in 2000.
Originally I was a business major, but found that I was not satisfied. I did not feel that it was "rewarding" me in the way I needed to be. So, I began looking for a new major. During this time I was training a fellow employee on a computer program at Midwest America Federal Credit Union. She told me that I did a great job and was very patient with her. She also knew that I was looking for a new major and recommended education. I had never given teaching much thought until that point in my life. Since that small suggestion had such an impact on my career, I figured this girl must be special and I should hold on to her. I married her in 2000! Kerry and I have two children, Leah (born on Pi Day!) and Christopher.
I have found that teaching is an extremely rewarding career and I am thankful that I made the switch to education. I thank God that He has brought me to the St. John's family.
If an E-Learning day is called, assignments will be posted in this area.
