About me

Growing up on the Northside of Chicago and attending CPS schools, I'm excited to give back to the community that shaped me. I earned my BA from the University of Illinois at Chicago and an MA from Concordia University Chicago. As a former Social Studies teacher, I've always loved helping high school students discover and achieve their academic, social emotional and postsecondary goals. I am also a certified Breathe for Change 200 Yoga Teacher and Social Emotional Learning Facilitator.

I am married with two stepdaughters and two dogs.  My favorite self-care activities are baking, running, yoga, and meditation.
