This will be my seventh year working at Kennedy Elementary, but I have been teaching for 17 years altogether!  I graduated from Elmhurst College with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and completed a Master’s Degree in ESL and Bilingual Education from American College of Education.  I have worked as a first, second, and fifth grade teacher in Elmwood Park and Franklin Park.  While obtaining my undergrad, I worked as a behavioral therapist for a child with autism for five years. Aside from teaching, my other passion is fitness. I enjoy living a healthy lifestyle and helping others to do so. I love spending time with my husband, daughter, and our Doberman. We spend most weekends with family and working on projects around the house. I am looking forward to another successful year at Kennedy and I am honored to teach your child!
