My name is Maria DiPrizio and I have been teaching at Stratford Middle School since 2017. I graduated from DePaul University and I am currently completing my Masters at Concordia University Chicago. I was a former head dance coach for 6 years at DePaul University. GO BLUE DEMONS!
My family is originally from the Southern Italian region of Puglia. I enjoy travelling to Italy every summer to visit my family, explore more about the beautiful country and of course, eat delicious Italian food! I am looking forward to a great school year!
Here is a little bit more about me:
I grew up as a competitive dancer.
I have one older brother and two younger sisters. My brother, Giuseppe, is an electrical engineer. My younger sister, Angelica, is a Doctor in Pharmacy at the Jesse Brown VA Hospital, and my youngest sister, Sabrina, is a financial consultant at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
My favorite color is lime green.
I need to have my espresso every morning!
I love to travel and see my family in Italy.
My favorite food is pizza.
I teach itty bitty babies dance on Saturday mornings at Center Stage Dance Studio located in Bloomingdale, IL.
