I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a degree in Elementary Education, then went on to get my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction with an ESL emphasis from National Louis University
I moved out to the Bay Area in 2007 from Illinois.
I have been teaching for now going into my 16th year!
I enjoy dancing, exercising, taking pictures, traveling, reading, eating, and SHOPPING.
Most of all, I am lucky to have a wonderful family- husband, two beautiful daughters (ages 5 and 2) and my mother all in one household!
Summer Fun!
I traveled to Italy to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday!
Took the kids camping for the first time.
Summer is a busy time for us celebrating both my daughters birthdays, myself, and our wedding anniversary.
Weekend trips to the beach, aquarium, Great America and parks.
Classroom Goals:
To create a sense of community filled with respect, communication, creativity, technology, and apply problem solving strategies in order to help foster a growth mindset, prepare for middle school and continually work on doing the best that each student can.
