Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year!  This is my first year teaching at Leyden High School and my ninth year teaching. I’m very excited to be a Leyden Eagle.  

Prior to become a member of the Leyden family I taught at Maine South High School as a special education teacher for four years. During that time I taught in a variety of settings and content areas. This included being an IEP case coordinator, small class teacher, and collaborative team teacher in the areas of English, History, Science, and Math. I also worked as an instructional coach at Maine South for three year.

Before working at Maine South High School I was teaching in the Chicago Public School district at Orr Academy High School. There I also taught special education and I  was a mentor teacher in the Academy of Urban School Leadership residency program.

In addition to teaching, I coach the girls gymnastics team at Maine South. This is my 11th year coaching Maine South Girls Gymnastics.

When I am not teaching I love to spend my time with my husband Danny and daughter Marianna. I love to ballroom dance, read, and enjoy creative projects.
