Biography:

I am excited to be a part of the Mann Family!  This is my 3rd year here in Oak Park.  I was at Longfellow Elementary as Assistant Principal my first year, and Julian Middle School as Assistant Principal last year.  I got to work with Mann students and families in my role at Julian last year, and am excited to extend that work this year.

I earned a BA in Elementary Education from Knox College, and an MA in Educational Leadership from Concordia.  I taught 3rd grade for 4 years and earned tenure in Schaumburg, then taught computer classes to students in K-8 in Chicago for 3 years prior to coming to Oak Park.

I am proud of my membership in the Oak Park Community, and have been welcomed and made to feel right at home.  I look forward to continuing my growth as an educator, and learning from the abundance of talent, knowledge, and enthusiasm that surrounds me to best service our kids!
