I was born in Euclid, Ohio (suburb of Cleveland), the 5th of six children.  All of us attended Catholic schools from first through twelfth grades.   Interestingly, we attended six different high schools in the area.  A "few years back", I graduated from Notre Dame Academy in Chardon, Ohio.  Ohio State and Cleveland State Universities each enjoyed my company for a year.  Over a period of ten years, I worked as an office assistant in three different companies.  My favorite was as an office assistant in an oral surgeon's office.  I even had the "pleasure" of assisting on a few surgeries to remove wisdom teeth.

My husband, Damian, and our two children, Anne and John (both graduates of SLS) moved here in 1987.  I started working at St. Leo's as a volunteer parent when Anne was in First Grade.  Since then I have held several different positions here, including PTO president, After School Care Director, Athletic Director, and Third Grade Teaching Assistant.  I am now in the office full-time with several responsibilities; the main ones being webmaster, Lunch Coordinator, and Bookkeeper.

I am currently working to earn my Associates Degree in Applied Science in Internet Technology.....only 4 more courses to go!! 

In my free time I love to read, crochet, go to the beach, play backgammon, and surf the net.  

Happily and proudly, Damian and I will be celebrating our 32nd wedding anniversary this December.  Time flies when you're having fun!!!
