This is my fourth year teaching at Holy Trinity School. This year, I am making the transition from fourth grade to fifth grade. This opportunity allows me the pleasure of teaching the same group of students two years in a row! In my new position I am also responsible for teaching 6th/7th grade American History and 8th grade Civics. I am looking forward to working with the Student Council this year as well..

I feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a positive learning community where parents, students, and teachers work cooperatively on a daily basis. I believe that in order for students to be successful learners, a classroom should include three key components; Responsibility, mutual respect, and cooperation.

Interesting Facts:

• Other than teaching, my biggest passion is the Chicago Cubs.
• I enjoy the outdoors and am a frequent visitor to the Brookfield Zoo, Morton Arboretum, and Chicago Botanic Gardens.
• I LOVE books. Reading is one of my favorite activities. My favorite authors include Jodi Picoult, LuAnn Rice and Elin Hilderbrand.
