I had a wonderful summer with my daughters Delaney and Brynn. Delaney turned 3 in June and Brynn turned 18 months in July. We spent a lot of time outside, including some time at the beach! I graduated from Illinois State University with my bachelor’s degree in elementary education, from Saint Xavier with my master's degree in teaching and leadership, and from University of St. Francis with another master's degree in differentiated instruction. I feel very fortunate to be working in such a wonderful district. In my free time I enjoy drinking Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, spending time with my family, reading, watching movies, going out to dinner, shopping, and going to the beach!
