I am currently an upper elementary teacher through Teach For America, and I've passed all of my elementary certification exams, while working on finishing my teacher license this academic year from calumet college, St. Joseph. Because I loved doing those in school, and I'll be teaching that this up coming school year. To have a struggling reader all of a sudden love reading and attack hard words never before tried is the best feeling in the world. I believe education should be fun, loving, inviting, challenging, and organized.

I love distance running, writing, and ultimate frisbee. I also do some work with early childhood education!
