I have been a proud member of the Baker staff since 2008. My educational background includes a B.S. from Illinois State University, an M.S. from Northern Illinois University, and both an M.A.T. and T.I.E. from National Louis University.

What I love best about working at Baker is the people—the dedicated staff, the families, and the kids—as well as the freedom to try new things with my students. My greatest hope is to instill the values of risk-taking, patience, and persistence in every student who enters my classroom. Outside of school, I am currently challenging myself by learning to play the ukulele.
