I was born and raised in Wheaton, Illinois and went to Illinois State University. This will be my 17th year of teaching, with many of those years being a 4th-grade teacher, 1 year in middle school as an 8th-grade teacher, and the last few years I have been teaching Technology Specials. This is my first year at Tom Hicks and I am super excited to back in the classroom and starting this new adventure in 2nd grade.

When I am not at work. you can find me spending time with my family either at home, on the lake or at sporting events, shopping, working out or reading a book.  I have been married to my wonderful husband for 11 years and we have two children, Byron (9 years old) and Bennett (7 years old) and two dogs, Stella and Stoli.  

A few fun facts about me are:

* I  have run the Boston Marathon 2 times, Chicago Marathon once!

* I am a die-hard Chicago Bears fan.

* I am a fitness fanatic, I also teach Insanity twice a week.

* I love to be outside, especially at the lake.

* I love owls.
