I am a third-generation educator. I have been involved in education in the capacity of teacher since the age of fifteen. My first opportunity to teach in my own classroom was at Saint Mary School in 2008. I believe that I understand the nuanced demands of administrating with efficiency, effectiveness, and purpose at Christian Brothers High School.
Christian Brothers is a vibrant learning community. I understand the dynamics of student and professional life at the school. As an instructor, committee member, Department Chair, and Summer School Director, I have shown leadership and management skill. Most importantly, I have a care for students that extends beyond the classroom to clubs, retreats, and the performing arts. I also maintain and value positive, goal-centered relationships with my colleagues. I am a committed advocate for student-centered learning and the power of community within a school at all levels.
