I’ve always known that  I wanted to be a teacher; whether it was pretending my family members were students at the dinner table or teaching all my dolls their ABCs, my path was clear from the start.  I furthered my passion for teaching by pursuing my Masters Degree in Early Childhood Education, which I received from DePaul University.

This is my second year at Newberry Academy and I continue to be honored to be working at such an amazing school.  I believe that every student has the ability to learn in a positive classroom.  The power of a good attitude and enthusiasm about learning can do great things in the eyes of a child.

My favorite author is J.R. Rowling.  I often talk to my students about my love for the Harry Potter books!  I enjoy running 5K races around the city and often see my former students running in the races.
