I graduated from Cary-Grove High School in 2009, where I participated in Soccer, Basketball, and Acappella Choir. I completed my undergraduate degree at Northern Illinois University.  I truly enjoy what I do, and it is so rewarding to be a part of students' growth and the experiences that shape their lives.  Outside of teaching, I love soccer, softball, hiking, and water sports. In the past six years, I have taken on three home renovations. I love projects and taking on new challenges!
