This is my fifth year at Hawthorn Elementary South teaching fourth grade! At the end of 2013-2014 school year I was the long term substitute in Mrs. Lawless’s 1st grade classroom. I am so excited to be teaching 4th grade!!!
In my free time, I enjoy working out and playing with my puppy, Gracie. I was told Gracie is a german shepherd mix when I adopted her, but I do not believe that because she is only 25 pounds. I believe she is a whippet mix and might have a tiny bit of german shepherd in her! I got married to my best friend on November 10, 2018 at Fisherman's Inn in Elburn, IL.
I enjoy traveling and baking! I took a trip to the United Kingdom a few summers ago and it was absolutely breathtaking and by far my favorite trip to this day! This summer I spent a good chunk of time working on my masters degree and planning for my wedding next year. I am a huge sports fan. The Blackhawks are my favorite sports team, but I also follow the Cubs, Bears, and Bulls.
