TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am a TENTH year teacher in a suburb in Illinois. I received a degree in Elementary Education, a Masters in Reading, and a Masters in Leadership (Principal Preparation). Currently I am a Student Learning Coach in a middle school.

MY TEACHING STYLE

At school, I get involved in as many things as I can, because I can't get enough of this school! From Harry Potter Camp, to TECHsperts, to Business Club, I'm constantly staying busy. I also have a passion for creativity. It's instilled in everything I do. I bring my creativity to my classroom each day, enjoy trying new things and taking risks!

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Other than teaching, I enjoy crafting (mainly for my classroom), reading, traveling (especially to Europe), blogging, spending time with family, friends, and boyfriend, and obsessing over all there is to do in the best city in the world, Chicago!
