Heather is thrilled to be a part of the Pax Christi Preschool team! She was born and raised in Northern California, where she graduated with a degree in Child Development from San Jose State University. She has been teaching in the Pre-K setting since 2010. She and her husband, along with their two beautiful daughters, live in Castle Pines and are members of Pax Christi. Both of her daughters were baptized at Pax Christi, and she was blessed to be baptized here as well in 2014. Her family enjoys skiing in Winter Park, hiking, playing games, and watching movies together. They are also faithfully loved by our dog, Tucker. Her goal is to help our children grow emotionally, socially, and academically, and she knows that you are the primary educator in the development of your child, where she is grateful to be a part of his/her growth. She thanks you for sharing the challenges and joys of that process with me. It is a privilege. 

Sheila joined the staff of our preschool in 2019 as an Assistant Teacher. While the majority of her career has been in hospitality and retail management, when her three daughters were young, she became closely involved with their schools. She taught Vacation Bible School, Junior Achievement, and was a volunteer elementary school librarian. Previously, she was a teacher's aide for the religious education program at Pax Christi. She also served as her daughters' Girl Scout Troop Leader for 16 years, ages kindergarten through high school. Sheila strongly believes in providing a supportive, caring environment to instill the love of learning and reading in children. She and her family have been long time parishioners of Pax Christi and she enjoys giving back to the community.

A graduate from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Erin started her career in the financial industry. After working in finance for 15 years, she worked at Catholic Charities as a case manager, volunteer coordinator and office administrator.
