About Me...
Let me tell you a little about myself...I’ve worked at Ridgeview going on ten years now. Wow, has the time flown by! I’ve primarily worked in the junior high/high school side of the building, but I am very excited to get the chance to work with the younger students for a fourth year now. I have a Master’s Degree as a Learning Behavioral Specialist, so I’m certified to teach K-12 Special Education students. I am married and I have two kids of my own aged seven and six. My daughter is starting 2nd grade this year and my son is starting 1st grade. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs, but am very excited to make my home in Central Illinois.

Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year!! I am so very excited to embark on this new year. It is a privilege being a Special Education teacher as I get to witness the social, academic and functional growth of very able students. I look forward to collaborating with not only the wonderful staff at Ridgeview, but with the wonderful parents/guardians in the community. Thank you for all of your support year-after-year. I am proud to be a Mustang!!
