Resource
As a Resource teacher, I provide specialized academic support to students who need additional instruction in reading and math. I work with students mostly in small groups to strengthen foundational skills, address learning gaps, and reinforce concepts taught in the classroom. My focus is on building students' skills, confidence, independence, and overall academic success.

About me
I live in Orland Park with my husband and three daughters. My degrees/background include Speech Pathology, Early Childhood Education, and Special Education. I worked in the Lemont public schools for many years, and then spent several years at home with my girls. This is my 5th year at St. Christina and I love the community of service this neighborhood embodies! My passion is to help our struggling students feel confident and successful.
