Teaching in District 309
During the 2017/2018 school year I was named a Top Ten Teacher for the State of Illinois. It was an honor to represent our school district and my profession. I have since had the opportunity to connect with area colleges and speak to area teachers and administrators about the importance of developing strong relationships in the classroom.
I became a mentor teacher for our district in 2013. I love getting to know the new teachers at Brimfield.
I serve on many of our school/district committees including the Crisis Team and 504 Plan Team.
LIFE AT HOME
My husband, Charles, and I are parents to one amazing son, William.
We have one dog named Noelle, and a wonderful cat, Holly.
I like decorating and finding the perfect fixer upper project for my classroom or home. I love a wonderful cup of coffee, especially when paired with a rainy day and a good book. As a family we enjoy camping, movies, cooking, and road trips.
