I have been teaching in School District 308 since 2009. I have previously taught at Long Beach, Grande Park, Prairie Point and Boulder Hill elementary schools. I have been full-time at Boulder Hill since 2012. 

My education includes a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, where I found my true calling for teaching. After earning my bachelor’s degree, I went on to pursue my master’s degree in multicategorical special education at Governors’ State University, Chicago.
