Mrs. Gallagher joined the staff of St. Ambrose in 2000. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of St. Thomas, her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Minnesota and her Master’s from St. Mary’s University. Mrs. Gallagher feels she was born to be a teacher and can’t imagine a more rewarding job. Learning is very important to her.
She tries to gain an awareness of each student’s experiences, attitudes, learning styles and needs, so she can make a greater positive impact on their education. She believes it is important to provide a wide array of learning experiences and activities that address these components. She strives to create a learning environment that is comfortable, safe, happy and fun. She likes to see her students having opportunities to work together and learn from each other.
Mrs. Gallagher enjoys being part of a Catholic school and feels it’s great to be able to pray with her students and bring God into every aspect of their daily life. She feels St. Ambrose truly is a family. In her time away from school, she enjoys running, biking, rollerblading, kayaking, golf, and spending time with her family.
