About me
I am very excited to be in the Pope John family!
I graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in History with a minor in Secondary Education. I have spent the last 15+ years teaching and tutoring students of all ages in all subjects. The past two years, I taught in District 65 middle schools in various instructional roles. I enjoy reading, going to the movies, board games, and being outside. I love soccer and I play several musical instruments. I live with my partner, Amanda, and my three children Eleanor(13), Julia(11), and Howie(8) and my bonus son, Miles(11).
I look forward to getting to know you and having a wonderful year learning and growing!
