This is my 27th year teaching middle school students at Our Lady of Hope/St. Luke School.

After graduating from the University of Illinois with a Masters Degree in Education with a Reading Specialty and an undergraduate degree in Special Education and Elementary Education, I started my teaching career in Bensenville, Illinois, first as a special educator in elementary and junior high for two years, then as a sixth grade teacher for another two years. After I married, I moved to Maryland and taught in the Anne Arundel school district as a Special Education teacher for four years. Following my time as a stay at home mom, I was fortunate to become part of the Our Lady of Hope/St. Luke School family.

I love spending time with my family, gardening, reading, traveling, enjoying all things Chesapeake (crabs, kayaking, hiking, Orioles), going to the theatre, Lithuanian cultural activities (and other cultural activities), and finding new, challenging things to learn (like robotics!)
