Introduction
Hello! I am a Diverse Learner teacher and the Cluster Program Chair at Amundsen High School. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from DePaul University with a Bachelor of Science in Special Education, LBSI Certification, and a Minor in Applied Psychology. I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction Design. While this is only my 6th year teaching, I have worked with children and people with disabilities for over 15 years. In my free time, I volunteer with two organizations that commit to empowering kids, teens, and adults living with a disability: Best Buddies Inc. and Miss Amazing Inc.
Participating in athletics was a huge part of my educational journey, which is the driving force behind my involvement with the Athletic Department. I am the Head Coach of the Amundsen Special Olympics Team. Involvement on campus is a crucial part of any high school experience. Amundsen is a place that offers a variety of clubs to help each student find their community within these walls. As an advocate for involvement and an advocate for the international non-profit organization, I started the Amundsen Best Buddies chapter and act as the club sponsor here on campus.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and toddlers, traveling, reading books with my book club, and watching movies.
For the 2023-2024 Academic School Year, I will teach Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science), Math, and Exploring Computer Science in the Cluster Program. Please reference Google Classroom for class information.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
