Welcome to the new school year! This is my first second year teaching at Leyden High School and my tenth 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 coached the girls gymnastics team at Maine South. I coached the Maine South Girls Gymnastics team for 11 years.
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.
Thanks for visiting my page, Ciao!
