This is my 7th year at Hazelgreen. I love working with the students and staff here. This is my 14th year as a special education teacher. I taught 6 months in Frankfort,IL and then 7 years in Lynwood, IL. I graduated in 2007 from Lewis University in Romeoville, IL with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary and Special Education. I am currently taking courses through American College of Education to receive my Master's Degree in English as a Second Language and Bilingual Education.

Outside of school, I am a full time mom to my three kids (Arwen 10, Sydney 9, & Ronin 7). I live in Saint John, IN with my husband of 13 years. We have a goldendoodle, Saphira. Besides spending time with my family, I love to run and read books.
