I am the youngest of four girls in my family. I grew up in Moline, Il with my parents and sisters. After attending high school, I went to Illinois State University and majored in Elementary Education. This is my 13th year teaching third grade at Pleasant Ridge School. I also received my masters in Teaching and Leadership from Saint Xavier University. In my free time, I enjoy being with my family especially my three nieces and two nephews. I also love swimming and walking by Lake Michigan.
My Favorite Things ... - black coffee - diet coke - pizza - tacos (I'm clearly very healthy) - the Cubs - all NFL football - beach days - rainy days (but hate indoor recess) - the minute I finish a workout - a good book - zero papers to grade on the weekend
