I feel there is a need for compassionate, strong, and dedicated individuals who are excited about working with children. In our competitive society it is important for students to not only receive a solid education, but to work with someone who is aware of and sensitive to their individual needs. I am such a person and will always strive to be the best educator that I can be.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Illinois State University. I am a certified teacher in the state of Illinois.

I work as a home bound tutor/teacher for School District U-46. Many of my students are suffering from life threatening condition, and psychological issues. Each experience teaching experience must provide a solid education, emotional support and the ability to create an environment of continuous learning, despite the medical challenges.

A volunteer at my church, soup kitchens, and at my children’s school. At my church, I will be participating in our first Advent Ornament project for the Christmas season. At our local soup kitchen, my children and I serve and clean up during the lunch hour, once a month.
