I love teaching children! My completed clinical experience ranges from rural areas (Charleston and Matoon,IL) to suburban areas (Winnetka, IL) and I completed student teaching at Albany Park Multicultural Academy. I have a special love for early childhood education and after years of teaching Pre-K 4/5 and First Grade, I finally found my perfect calling in Kindergarten! I love creating lessons that are engaging and love the excitement as the children understand concepts and apply them in the classroom and at home.
