I am a graduate of Northern Illinois University with an LBS I degree.  I have been teaching for six years.  I have worked as a special education teacher in the areas of emotional/behavior disorders as well as life skills.  I have been at Plank for the last 3 years in the Life Skills Program with 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th grade students.  I am continuing to learn and grow to provide my students with the skills and education necessary to transition into adulthood.  I look forward to many years in this profession!
