I have been blessed to be teaching in District 74 for 26 years.  I grew up in the area and attended Niles West with Lincoln Hall students.   I have enjoyed working with so many talented teachers at Lincoln Hall and Rutledge Hall.  I continue to learn from these talented colleagues as well as the many students who I have had the pleasure to teach.

Personally, I have two daughters, one who currently is earning a graduate degree in secondary English and one who is a senior at  Illinois State University.  They amaze me with their talents and bring joy into my life. I am also a proud parent of a mixed yellow labrador.

I love to read YA books and am a huge Harry Potter fan. Lastly, I am a die hard Chicago Blackhwaks fan, trying to catch every game I can.
