Hello everyone! I’m honored to be joining you all at St. Stephen’s. I currently serve as Head Teacher at Young Horizons, where I’ve worked for 16 of my 25 years in early childhood education. My role at Young Horizons includes developing curriculum aligned with Connecticut Early Learning Development Standards and mentoring staff working with children from 6 weeks to 5 years old. I even supervise a few former students who now work as teacher’s aides!

I was raised Roman Catholic and received my First Communion and Confirmation at Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church in Wallingford. I even helped teach a 5th-grade CCD class for a time. Though I later stepped away from the Catholic Church, my love for God has only deepened.

Meeting the Reverend Erin was such a blessing, and through this new role, I feel God calling me into more intentional service. I’m excited to nurture the faith of your children and create a Sunday School environment where they feel welcomed, safe, and spiritually fed.

My goal is simple: to help our children grow in their love for God—and be excited to come to church every Sunday. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms. I can’t wait to get started!
