I am proud to be starting my 31st year working in School District 74! I am a graduate of the University of Iowa (BA in education), National-Louis University (MA in interdisciplinary teaching and instruction), and Concordia University (MS in reading specialization). During my tenure in Lincolnwood I have co-directed school musicals, directed many variety shows at Lincoln Hall, coordinated yearbooks, taken on leadership roles, and have worked with and learned from amazing colleagues throughout the years. Watching my students grow as readers is the best part of my job! Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, and gardening.
