I grew up just outside of Chicago, IL and graduated from the University of Illinois with my teaching degree.  This is my fourth year at RDC!  Currently, I teach 7th grade social studies and women's studies enrichment. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, playing sports, shopping, and spending time friends and family. I have an awesome fiance, Pat, and together we have a dog, Alma, and a cat, Chief. I enjoy working at RDC because it is a positive, fun place to learn and work!
