I am honored to serve as Principal of St. Pascal Regional Catholic School. With over a decade of experience in Catholic school leadership, I am committed to fostering a faith-filled environment where every child is supported in reaching their fullest potential. My background includes advanced degrees in School Counseling, Educational Leadership, and English and German Literature, and I hold Minnesota K–12 Principal and School Counselor Licenses. Rooted in my Ukrainian heritage, I bring a deep appreciation for resilience, inclusivity, and community. I look forward to partnering with families as we guide our students in faith, academics, and character.
