Welcome to GATE! I am so excited to soar to new heights with our students this year! I love teaching at Todd Hall! My prior experience includes teaching reading, preschool, kindergarten, first, and second grade throughout the past 25 years. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education with a Concentration in Theatre and a Master's Degree in Literacy Education with an EL endorsement. I live in Skokie with my husband, Jeff, my two daughters Jenna and Alexis, and my puppy, Ozzy Spellman Chiet. I am looking forward to getting to know each of you throughout the school year! Please fell free to email me at any time with any questions you may have.
