I joined the Tiger family in August of 2015 and have never been happier in doing so! I take pride in being able to call myself a tiger! This school year, I am teaching 6th grade Language Arts, 6th-grade science, and F.B.I. (functional behavior integration) I graduated from Northern Illinois University in December 2011 with my Bachelor's degree in special education and an endorsement in social studies. I also have my master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Phoenix. From August 2012-June 2015, I taught middle school students in Rochelle and was a track coach for those 3 years as well. I love working with students and making a difference in their lives, no matter how big or small.
