The health and wellness of our students is an interest and I am a member of the district health and wellness committee. I have a dog named Benson and a son, Prince, living in Chicago. I enjoy gardening, remodeling and walking and usually walk twice a day with Benson. I enjoy travelling and usually plan an annual vacation with friends. I hope to travel abroad when I am retired. Right now I am enjoying life and looking forward to my next adventure.

I'm excited to return for my fourth year at Julia Goldstein as the School Social Worker. I have a Masters in Social Work from St. Louis Univeristy and a Bachelors in Social work from the Univeristy of Oklahoma. I love working with children, their families, and staff, in identifying barriers so that everyone has equal access to learning. I will be at Julia Goldstein on Tuesdays and at Brittany Woods the other days.

I have three children, one in college and two in high school. I love spending time with my husband and children, seeing movies, reading, listening to podcasts and exercising. I especially love listening to podcasts or books WHILE exercising.

I am a 1984 graduate of University City High School. I have been a counselor in the district since 2000. I have two daughters named Brandy and Brianna. I have two grandchildren named Stephan and Stephaun. I enjoy working out, going to the movies, dining out, traveling and spending time with my children and grand-children.
