My husband's name is Emmanuel Kountakis and we have a 2 year old boy and another on the way.

My husband and I have been married for 4 years. We are blessed with a little boy and another boy on the way. I am Catholic and my husband is Greek Orthodox. My family has been a part of St. Mary's church for many years. My maiden name is Herman and my Mother's maiden name is Ross. I have a strong faith and I am in full communion with the Catholic Church. I am excited about the idea of teaching in a Catholic environment where God is talked about on a regular basis.
