I love gymnastics and have been involved in the sport since I was 4 years old!  I am lucky to work with some amazing athletes at BG and share the head coaching role with Coach Leslie.

I am incredibly fortunate to work on a team with amazing teachers that help support our students with disabilities.  I love that I meet and get to know all of our students with IEPs and their families.  I feel privileged to get to be a part of their team, watch them grow and prepare to meet their post high school dreams.

I love to spend time with my family - traveling, going on random adventures, and seeking any new experiences life has to offer.

This summer my daughter, Olivia (age 7), son, Jeff (age 5) and I went on many adventures. We loved trying some new things like rock climbing, high ropes courses, visiting historical landmarks, milking cows and trying as many ice cream shops as possible!

I come from a large family that lives in and around Chicago. I grew up there, moved to Palatine in middle school and graduated from Fremd High School.

I  went to Illinois State University for 2 years, transferred to University of Maryland Global Campus and moved to Germany. While there, I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, fell in love with traveling and grew in my appreciation for our Armed Forces.  During that time, I worked as a special education teaching assistant at an Army elementary school and learned I wanted to become a teacher.

I returned to the US, went to Northern Illinois University to earn a Masters degree in Special Education and began teaching at West Leyden High School.  While there, I learned that I enjoyed not only working with students, but also with supporting staff and the greater school community.

I went back to school to obtain a second Masters degree in Educational Leadership from University of Illinois and had the opportunity to work with the wonderful Hinsdale South community before getting to become a Bison.

I also really enjoy hobbies such as photography and DIY house projects.  This photo is from our recent exploring adventure outside of Milwaukee along Lake Michigan.
