Now, a little bit about myself. I have been teaching in District #23 since 2002. I am very familiar with the district, as I have grown up in the community and attended Ross, Sullivan, MacArthur, and Wheeling High School. I have a B.A. in Education from Northern Illinois University, a Master’s Degree in Reading from Roosevelt University, and an ESL endorsement from National Louis University. My husband and I have A Dachshund/Spaniel dog named Bentley. We also have a Six-year old son named Gavin.
