NICE TO MEET YOU! 

I moved to the Chicago area from Germany in 2002 and have lived in Oak Park since 2009. You might see me rollerblade, jog, bike, or dog-walk around town with my two kids who also attend D97 schools. I love our community and want to support our kiddos’ well-being and learning to the best of my ability. I look forward to working together this year!
