I have had the honor and absolute pleasure of teaching at Skinner for the past 20 years! This will be my fourth year in seventh grade after a long rewarding career in third grade and before that, a short time in second and several years in kindergarten.
I attended Augustana College for my undergraduate work and National Louis University where I received my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction.
My favorite author is Haruki Murakami and favorite book is The Wind Up Bird Chronicle.
My favorite band is Wilco.
I have an awesome family and am a mother of three amazing boys ages 13, 8, and 7.
In my free time I love to run, eat out and explore new cuisines and restaurants, go to as many concerts and festivals as I can, travel, and explore all the amazing places our great city has to offer.
This summer you will find me along the 606 trail training for a half marathon in August and The Chicago Marathon in October.
