I earned my BA in Education from Loyola University. After teaching 7th and
8th grade math in a private school for four years, I stayed home to raise my
three children.
I missed being in a classroom, and began spending time volunteering in the
classrooms while my children were in school. Eight years ago I was
fortunate to be given the opportunity to work at Park View as a part time
reading teacher and special education aide. After spending the past 5 years
as the technology assistant, last year I began teaching technology and I'm
loving it.
I teach technology to first, second and third grade students and keyboarding
to fourth graders. These classes meet once a week for 30 minutes. In
addition, I teach Life Skills as a sixth grade Encore class and Technology
as an eighth grade Encore class. The Encore classes meet daily for one
quarter.
My desire is for the students to challenge themselves while working together
to problem solve as they learn new technology.
