Hello! I am so excited to be starting my fourth year with the Matteson Elementary family and teaching first grade! I am a Matteson Elementary Alum. I graduated from Illinois State University with my Bachelors in Elementary Education and an endorsement to teach English as a Second Language. I am also currently going back to school to get my Master's in Reading. I love all animals (especially my cat), my favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip, and I really enjoy traveling in my free time! I am looking forward to a great school year!
