Born in Chicago

Moved to Des Plaines when I was 9

Fun fact - I went to Maine West!  Some of my former teachers still work at West and it is such a pleasure to work with them :)

My husband and I have 2 boys that are high energy and lots of fun! This picture is from one of our favorite vacations in Costa Rica.

I have 2 boys that always want to play.  One of the silver linings of the pandemic for me is seeing how much my boys have bonded.  I love seeing how much they care for each other.  This is a picture of one of those moments I caught them being kind to each other.

Did I say that my boys have a lot of energy? As a family, we love to play sports, games and generally have fun together.

I am very fortunate to live by a bike trail and I try to ride as much as I can in the summer.

Triathlons are races in which you swim, bike and run.  I have done a couple of sprint triathlons. My ultimate goal is to one day do an Ironman (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, 26.2 mile run)..someday!

Chicago is such a great city with so much history and diversity.  I love to be an explorer in my city, learn something new, and especially eat some good food! This is one of my favorite pictures of the city from an early morning bike ride.

I am one of the sponsors of our Latinx (formally Hispanic Student) Club.  It is such a pleasure for me seeing our Latinx students have cultural pride.  We do cultural events and fundraising for scholarships for our community.  Below are some pictures from our club.

I love to read, but I often don't have time to sit down to read so I listen to books when I run or do chores around the house. The last book that I read was Daisy Jones & The Six.
