I have been teaching at the 5th grade level at Stevenson for 10 years.  During my free time I love to read adolescent novels to share and connect with my students.  Math is my favorite subject to teach - which I find interesting since I struggled in math as a student myself. Most of all,  I love guiding students to work to their fullest potential.  

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and moved to Bloomington to attend Illinois State University where I received my Bachelor's in 2010.  Then after having a few years of teaching experience, went back to earn my Master's Degree and  Special Education certification in 2018. I'm happy my husband and I decided to make Bloomington our home where we are raising our 2 young children, Isabelle (2 y/o) and Elijah (1 y/o).  

I am thrilled for the 2019-2020 school year! Please don't hesitate to contact me through email or class dojo message; my classroom door is always open!
