Originally I wanted to be an event planner, but after a year of working in an office I decided to go back to school to become a teacher. This was the best decision ever! I have taught Kindergarten, Fifth Grade, Second Grade and Third Grade on the west and south sides of Chicago. I am currently teaching Second Grade here at Peterson.
"My favorite thing about Peterson is all of the support we offer to students, parents, and teachers. You never have worry because there is always someone there to help you!"
My favorite thing to do outside of Peterson is to spend time with my two nieces and try out different restaurants throughout the city of Chicago with my friends.

I taught 2nd in Kissimmee, FL before moving to Chicago. I attended a job fair with the hopes of finding Peterson in attendance. I was first hired at Peterson to fill a maternity leave and then took my first classroom in 2007.
"My favorite thing about Peterson is the dedicated and supportive families we have here!"
I love to bake with my 3 year old sous chef, Addison!
