Hello! My name is Ms. Williams, and I am honored to be one of the fifth-grade teachers at Hatch Elementary School. I know we have an AMAZING class, and I can't wait to get to know each of you.

This will be my third year teaching at Hatch. Prior to this, I worked as an online math discourse specialist for grades 3-6. I earned my BS in Elementary Education from Illinois State University in 2019, as well as my Reading Teacher endorsement.

In addition to my role as a fifth-grade teacher, I am a member of the Opportunity Coalition's Leaders for Just Schools cohort and the IEA's Committee to Advance Public Education. I am also a Teach Plus K-12 Education Policy Fellow.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing soccer, and spending time with family and friends. I currently live in Lombard with my partner, Joe, but I consider the Oak Park community to be my own!

As we build our classroom community, I know we'll enjoy lots of learning, laughter, and fun! Together, we'll make this school year the best one yet. Let's rock it!
