I am excited to be starting my 17th year of teaching 6th grade at Hillcrest School. I am a life-long learner and I have always had a passion for teaching. I am looking forward to spending this school year with our wonderful 6th graders and teaching with Ms. Rowland and Mr. Smoke. Mr. Murphy and I live in Downers Grove and we have two daughters and two rescue dogs. I love to hike, bike, kayak, garden, read, travel and spend time with family and friends.

I am excited to be starting my 14th year of teaching (all at Hillcrest). This school is an amazing place with wonderful teachers. I am blessed to be working along side Mrs. Murphy and Ms. Rowland this year. I live by the motto that each day offers a new opportunity to learn something and to be kind to someone.
