I live in Crystal Lake with
my husband and three children: Christopher (Junior in H.S.), Alyson (Sophomore
in H.S.) and Brooke (7th grade). I enjoy reading and try to do so
whenever I have a free moment. My other past times include spending time with
my family and keeping up with the busy lives of three teenagers. I have my
Bachelors in Elementary Education and my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction.
I continue to pursue my education by participating in workshops, seminars and
classes. I love teaching and I try to ensure that each of my students is
provided with many opportunities to reach their highest potential.
I feel blessed to have been
teaching first grade at St .Thomas the Apostle School for 8 years. I look
forward to each and every day with my students and enjoy watching them grow
academically and spiritually. I hope to instill a love of God and all of his
creations in each child that I teach. I want all of my students to become life
long learners who continue to use their special gifts to make a difference in
the world. I believe that each of my students is a special gift from God and I
feel very blessed to be a part of their lives if only for a short time.
