Welcome to fifth grade! I am very excited to begin my second year teaching 5th grade at Ravinia. It is wonderful to be a part of the community and have the chance to work with sucha great group of students and parents. My family moved many times when I was younger, but I consider Libertyville my hometown, and I now live in Evanston. I graduated from Lake Forest College in 2006 and student taught 5th grade at Ravinia. I first taught 5th grade at Adler Park School in Libertyville and then made my way back to Ravinia last year. I had a busy, but wonderful summer. I traveled for weddings, vacationed in California (where I was born), read a TON of books, and spent time with family, friends, and my dog, Lady. In my free time I love to read, workout, listen to music, and sketch. I am looking forward to another enjoyable and enriching year at Ravinia!
