I was born and raised in the Chicago area.  We have lived in Illinios, Michigan and Texas! I have been married for over 27 years and have two awesome kids.  We also have a sweet dog named Sadie.  I love to spend time with my family, workout, shop and explore. I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I was a little girl.  

I graduated with my Bachelors Degree from Western Illinios University.  My favorite thing about education is being creative.  I love to think of ways to make learning fun and engaging.  I value relationships and the love of learning!
