This will be my 10th year teaching at River Woods and my 14th year of teaching overall.  I taught fourth grade for five years before moving to second grade.  I grew up in Naperville and went to school in District 204.  As a teacher, I love seeing the “lightbulb” moments when students understand a new concept!  I also love creating our classroom community each year.  When I’m not teaching, I enjoy reading, working out, and spending time with my daughter and my husband.

This is my fourth year teaching 2nd grade at River Woods. I have been married to my husband, Aaron, for 20 years and we have two sons that also attend school in District 203. I am excited to get back in the classroom to form relationships with my students and watch their brains grow. When I'm not teaching, I am happily driving or watching my boys in whatever extra curricular activity is happening, reading, playing board games with my family, or having random dance parties in our kitchen!
