I received my bachelor’s degree from Eastern Illinois University, in Charleston, Ill., my learning behavior specialist endorsement from Lewis University, Romeoville, Ill., and my master’s degree in educational leadership at the University of St. Francis, in Joliet, Ill., in July 2013.

I previously taught at Plainfield East High School in both family and consumer science (FACS), and special education. As a FACS teacher, I have taught foods, child development, early childhood, parenting, and clothing. As a special education teacher, I co-taught in chemistry, physics, and English classes. Currently, I am the Oswego High School’s Little Panther Preschool coordinator for our early childhood program.

Go Panthers!
