Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year! I am the seventh grade Reading, Writing, and Social Studies teacher at Lewis and this will be my fourth year in this position. Seventh grade is an exciting year in middle school as students grow in capacity and begin to prepare for the high school application process in eighth grade.
I am originally from Michigan but moved to Chicago for college and became committed to teaching in CPS during my undergraduate years. I have a B.A. in English Literature and Secondary Education from North Park University and a M.Ed. in Teaching, Learning, and Assessment from National Louis University. When I am not teaching, I love reading, biking, running, and spending time with my golden retriever, Brady.
While this school year will contain much uncertainty and require flexibility from us all, I am looking forward to the learning and growing that will happen this school year. Please use the links below to email me and connect with Lewis throughout the year. I am excited for an excellent year of learning and I look forward to getting to know all students and families!
