Chicago has been my home for past ten years.  Prior to teaching at Heritage, I taught at Park Forest Academy and Julian High school. In addition to teaching, I also coach soccer. I graduated from St. Xavier University after studying psychology and playing soccer. I continued my studies at National Louis, earning a Masters in Special Education.

Currently, I enjoy running, playing and coaching soccer, and spending time with family and friends. I have three brothers who all used to live in Nebraska. Now, one is serving in the Army, another in the Marines, and the youngest one is in middle school. In my free time, I enjoy traveling to visit family and friends and experiencing the city of Chicago.
