Ms. Reece is originally from southern California, grew-up in Boston and Philadelphia, and has lived in North Carolina since high school. She graduated from Wakefield High School and then attended UNC to complete her undergrad in education. After graduation, Ms. Reece taught kindergarten in Durham and prepared at-risk preschoolers over the summer for kindergarten. Once she started her family, Ms. Reece went on to work at Saint Catherine of Siena Church and then the Diocese of Raleigh in the Offices of the Bishop and Vocations. Ms. Reece then started graduate school to become a secondary science teacher and is super excited to be at Saint Raphael, teaching in the Ignatian Way!
