Working alongside children is rewarding. While their minds and bodies are growing day by day, it is important that they are mentored and challenged in various engaging ways.
I am looking forward to the experience that both my students and I will endeavor. Students may come and go through the years, but I hope to leave a positive and lasting impact on their lives.
Born and raised in Ireland, I came here as a college student and I've never since looked back! I met my husband playing Gaelic football in Chicago. We both are active runners, cycling, entertaining, and travelers. We have four kids, two boys and two girls, three in college and one finishing up high school this year, yikes!
Those primary years with my kids were my highs, as busy as it was with afterschool activities, I felt the urge to go back to school to become a teacher. I've spent 12 years subbing and supporting students in local districts. It's my happy place outside of my home as well as summer trips back to the old sod.
