I am in my fifth year as a special education teacher at Round Lake Middle School and currently teach 6th grade math. Prior to teaching at RLMS, I taught at a private therapeutic day school for six years. I received my bachelor's degree in education from Southern Illinois University and my Learning Behavior Specialist I (LBSI) endorsement from Roosevelt University. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in curriculum and instruction from Concordia University. 

I was born and raised in Lake County and still reside here. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, and spending time with my family/friends. I have two cats, Cora and Lena.
