It is a privilege and pleasure to be a part of the Lane School family. I joined the staff in 2003 as a 3rd/4th grade teacher, moving to 6th grade in 2010. Teaching is a second career for me; after graduating from DePaul University, I managed and sold real estate. However, after my two children were born, I discovered a real passion for learning and teaching. I returned to school and earned an Education degree from Governors State University (later earning a Reading Specialist Masters Degree from Saint Xavier University).
Away from Lane, I am usually on my bicycle (weather permitting), hanging out with my family and friends or planning a travel adventure.
