I have been teaching here at Eisenhower since 1989. I have taught kindergarten, first grade, second grade and a one-two combination grade. I received my Bachelor Degree at Illinois State University in General Education with endorsements in Mathematics and Science. I received my Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Illinois. I was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan. My family moved to Illinois when I was twelve. The top of my bucket list is to travel to Paris.
