Hello! I've been an educator with Leyden High Schools since the 2006-2007 school year. I currently serve as the Director of Careers. Prior to this role, I served as an Industrial Technology teacher and department chair. Before coming to Leyden, I studied Technology Education at Illinois State University in Bloomington/Normal, Illinois. I also received a Master's in Educational Leadership from The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I am a Google Certified Educator, Autodesk Inventor Certified user, and I am National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) certified.  I am passionate about all things Career and Technical Education (CTE). I love creating opportunities for our students to engage with the Leyden community.
