BIO

I came to Our Lady of Victory in 2008 after teaching for the Chicago Public Schools for 22 years.   Prior to that I taught out of state.  Throughout my teaching career I have taught a wide variety of students.   While I hold both regular and special education certificates, the majority of my teaching experience has been with special needs students.  I earned my Bachelor's Degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana and my Master's at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA.  I feel very fortunate to be teaching at OLV.  The faculty is dedicated and the students are well-behaved and motivated.  I thoroughly enjoy the group of students I teach. I have two daughters and five grandchildren.  I share a two-flat with my younger daughter and her family.  Both of her children attend OLV.  My other daughter lives in Springfield.  Although it is a long drive, I manage to see them four to five times a year.   In my spare time I like to garden, read, and travel whenever I get the opportunity.   I look forward to a long association with Our Lady of Victory School.
