SCHOOL PHONE: 309-427-5205


Central Junior High School has been my home for the past seven years.  I
first taught 7th grade science and then moved to 6th grade science my second
year.  I have been there ever since.  My husband, Matt, my one year daughter,
Ava, and I live in Mapleton.  I am originally from the Quad Cities,
specifically East Moline.  I love to travel and I enjoy going to baseball
games in the summer.  Go Cubbies!  When the weather is nice, I enjoy walking,
running, or working in my garden.

I am a graduate of Illinois State University with my Bachelors degree in
Education.  I have endorsements in both science and mathematics.  In December,
2010, I graduated from Saint Xavier University with my masters degree in
Teaching and Leadership.  To further my knowledge and ability to be an
effective educator, I plan on continuing my professional development during
the summer months.
