About Me

Biographical Information

I feel so fortunate to teach at Old Quarry Middle School. I truly believe that we have formed parent-child-teacher partnerships that allow our children to succeed at the highest levels.

When I'm not teaching, my husband, son, and I enjoy camping and hiking in the forest preserves and state parks of Illinois with our greyhound Angelina. Each spring we also take time to chase supercell thunderstorms and tornados across the Midwest.
