This is my thirteenth year teaching sixth grade in Belvidere. I started my
career at Meehan Elementary in 1997 after graduating from NIU in December of
96. From there I moved to the "new" Lincoln when it opened in 1999. After 3
years there, I moved again to Central Middle School when it opened.
Since finishing my undergraduate degree, I have continued my education
almost constantly. I obtained a Masters in Education from St. Xavier
University and completed all coursework for Education Administraton through
Aurora University. If that wasn't enough, I participated in the rigorous
National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification process.
This is the highest level of certification a teacher can earn. In November,
2007 I was informed that I had achieved this distinction.
On a more personal note, I was married in August 2007 and have thoroughly
enjoyed my first year of marriage. My husband, Dan, and I live in Rockford
with our two Boxers, Bella and Buster. My mom and sister also live in
Rockford with their families. In addition to my busy teaching schedule, I
also owned Girlie Girl Shoes in the Edgebrook Shopping Center in Rockford.
The store was closed in early October, 2008.
Hobbies? No time for hobbies. When I have a few spare minutes, I generally
curl up with a good book so I can travel far, far away from here. I also
enjoy camping, hiking, and rock climbing.
