Biography

I was born and raised right here in West Rogers Park. My family and I currently still live in the neighborhood and my son is lucky enough to be a student here at Decatur. I started at Decatur as a parent volunteer running our annual jogathon fundraiser and building lifelong relationships with our amazing staff, students and families. I then transitioned to a part time recess/lunch support staff position in 2018 and just before the pandemic hit in 2020 I was hired as the Clerk. In my spare time I love spending time with my family, watching my son play baseball and basketball, and enjoying a good cup of coffee. I look forward to serving the Decatur community for many more years to come.
