I am married to Cass Hopkins and have two wonderful children – Brady (10) my stepson and Gabriella (6) our daughter. We also have a new puppy Paytin.
I began my academic life at Guardian Angels but at the age of ten we moved to Milford, Ohio where I completed my elementary and middle school years at St. Andrew. My high school days were spent at St. Ursula Academy and then I attended the University of Dayton where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration.
After college, I had a successful career working in corporate America but had always hoped to return to school and earn my teaching certificate. The time arrived after having my daughter and realizing that I my desire to work with children was far greater than continuing my career in corporate America. For the past two years I have been working on completing my credentials to teach Montessori Early Childhood Education while also working at the Montessori Center Room where I was afforded the opportunity to work with three, four and five year olds. This past year I also completed my internship at Country Hills Montessori East where I worked primarily with three year olds. Both teaching opportunities provided me with insight on how truly unique and gifted each child is and how each child needs the freedom to discover who they are and what they can do. I look forward to being part of this new adventure at Immaculate Heart of Mary and I look forward to meeting you and your children.
Hobbies/Interests: When not working I am typically with my children at Kindermusik, baseball or soccer. We spend many of our summer days at Coney Island where I teach swimming lessons and where my children love to play. When extra time permits I enjoy reading, doing cross stitch and baking.
