This is my 12th year at HPHS and my 9th year teaching in the Special Education Department. I have a bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education: Social Sciences from DePaul University and a master’s degree in Special Education from Northeastern Illinois University.  I currently teach Freshman Learning Strategies, Patterns of World History Fundamentals, and co-teach in the freshmen double period English classes.  Outside of school, I am passionate about volunteering for various organizations that support people with disabilities.
