I attended Carthage College, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where I received a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and special education. I later went on to get my master’s from Olivet Nazarene University, in Bourbonnais, Illinois, in curriculum and instruction. Furthermore, I continue to constantly further my education and currently have 15 additional credits in education classes. I have taught in District 308 since 2003. I proudly declared in first grade that I wanted to be a teacher.  Lucky me, I have achieved my dream career of teaching! My goal as a teacher is to help each child reach their full potential both academically and socially. I look forward to another fantastic year!
