Summary

I am originally from Fairbury, a very small town about 2 hours south east of Chicago. I currently live in Bloomington and teach in Pontiac. This is my ninth year of teaching. I have been at Pontiac #429 for the entirety of my teaching career and have been able to hold many leadership positions. I have been a teacher leader for 5 years. I have also held a position on the special education task force. I coached 6th grade girls basketball from 2019-2024. I love to be involved in the community.
