Hello!  I am so excited to be apart of the Leyden family!  I obtained my dual Bachelor's degrees in Secondary Education and History from Illinois Wesleyan University.  I strive to provide an exciting and engaging environment for each of my students that fosters a love for Social Studies both inside and outside the classroom.  In my free time, I enjoy coaching swimming to athletes of all ages, all year round.  I am also a big Chicago sports fan (Go Cubs Go!) and would love to chat more about the true Chicago baseball team!  Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions!  Go Eagles!
