My husband, Brad, and I have been parishioners here at Our Lady of the Wayside for over 30 years. I am thrilled to be teaching here at my “second home”. We have three adult children and two grandchildren. I have taught Religious Education here for 14 years and have led Bible Studies for about 12 years. In addition, I have been very involved in various ministries in the Parish including Marriage, Engaged, and CFM.
Teaching is my second career and I began teaching at Palatine and Fremd High Schools before switching to Middle School over six years ago. God led me to teach at St. John Berchmans and now here at OLW. I feel so Blessed that God brought me to my neighborhood school that I love and feel honored to be at. I pray that God will use me to bring his love and encouragement to my students as well as to help them learn math and make a difference in their lives.
