Principal

I am very excited to be the proud Principal of our Southbury Shark family! Go Sharks! I began my teaching career as an elementary teacher in Palos Heights.  In the summer months, I worked for Parkland College for the Illinois Migrant Program as a reading specialist/teacher evaluator.  I was previously the Assistant Principal at Old Post Elementary School for 4 school years. 

I attended the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign obtaining a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education.  I continued my education by obtaining my master's degree as a Reading Specialist and my second master's degree in Educational Leadership, both through Olivet Nazarene University. I also attended Lewis University for my LBS1 Special Education Endorsement.   

District 308 is a wonderful school district and I am fortunate to be part of the family! 

Assistant Principal

I am super excited to be a part of the Southbury community! I am looking forward to building relationships with all of the families at Southbury while helping every child succeed!

Prior to arriving at Southbury, I taught seven years and spent the last four at Gurrie Middle School in LaGrange teaching 7th and 8th grade language arts. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in 2012 with a B.A. in English. In the Spring of 2019, I graduated with my Master’s from Concordia University through their educational administration program. During that time, I have worked in a wide-range of setting while helping all students achieve success while celebrating their accomplishments. 

I am excited to be a part of the Southbury community and help make it a place where amazing things happen each and every day.
