I have been blessed to be teaching in District 74 for 30 years. I continue my journey with the current 8th grade class that I had the pleasure of teaching when they were in 6th grade.  My daughters are all grown up and beginning their career path. We saved a border collie from a shelter during the pandemic who has boundless energy, like a toddler! I continue to enjoy YA books, so many amazing stories that represent today's social landscape.
