This is my 20th year of teaching in the Chicago Public Schools and my 16th year at Decatur. In my 20 years of teaching, I have taught everything from 1st grade to 8th grade! Literacy & Social Studies are passions of mine and I am very excited to be teaching 4th grade English Literacy and Social Studies this year.
I received my undergraduate degree from DePauw University in elementary education and history. Later I attended DePaul University and received my master’s degree as a reading specialist with a focus on learning disabilities. I'm excited to be utilizing my background in history & literacy in my classroom on a daily basis. I'm lucky to be able to teach two of my favorite subjects this year!
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, figure skating, and doing needlepoint.
