I grew up in Buffalo Grove and went to Prairie and then Twin Groves! In fact, many of my teachers are now my colleagues. I went on to Stevenson and then the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. 

I graduated Magna Cum Laude and with Distinction from the Department of Mathematics with a degree in Mathematics, Psychology, and Secondary Education. My concentration in Psychology was in the cognitive field, which includes learning, memory, problem solving, insight, and creativity. This means you should always listen to my study tips!
