Hi,  I am from Chicago, IL.  I have taught in Chicago Public Schools for 15 years, and I taught in California for 2 years.   I received my Bachelor of Science, June 2003 at DePaul University.  In December 2009, I earned a Master of Arts at Concordia University.  I have been teaching for 18 years.  I taught kindergarten for 9 years.  I have taught in all grades K-5th grade.  I am extremely excited to be a part of the Thomas Staff, and I look forward to inspiring 2nd Grade Thomas students to be our next great global leaders.
