I am a local and have lived in Grayslake with my family since I was in 3rd grade.  I went to Grayslake North and was the first graduating class in 2008!  I went to SIU for my bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. Go Salukis!  Since then I have earned an endorsement in English as a Second Language, an Early Childhood Special Education approval, and am currently going to school to earn a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from American College of Education.

I have worked as a special education aide and a reading and math interventionist while here at Spaulding.  This is my fifth year at Spaulding and my third year being a preschool teacher.  I'm so excited to be teaching preschool again as I love the little ones so much.  The early years are critical in building skills and I love to see them grow and progress with their academic skills as well as their problem solving, independence, and social skills.  

When I am not at school I love going to sporting events, especially Brewer's games and University of Wisconsin football games.  I also love going to concerts, exploring new places, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.
