I was born in Yakuska, Japan (on a U.S. Naval Base). I have lived in Chula Vista, CA; San Diego, CA: Oak Lawn, IL; Crystal Lake, IL; South Bend, IN; Des Plaines, IL. I attended high school in Arlington Heights, IL at Forest View High School. I went to college at The University of Evansville. I met my husband in 1988 and we have 3 children, Stephanie, 22; Amanda, 20; and Dylan, 18.
What I like about teaching? I like being with children, and showing them how fun and important it is to learn. I like laughing with my students, and there is something new happening every day. I truly love that moment when a child really "gets" a new concept.
Favorites:

Hobbies:
I like to reading, swimming movies, scrap booking, exercising, and anything my kids are doing!
