I moved to St. Louis just a week after graduating high school and have called it home ever since. While I’ll always have love for my hometown of Chicago, I really enjoy life in St. Louis. Less traffic and toasted ravioli are hard to beat!

The 2025–2026 school year will be my 16th year in education, and I still feel incredibly lucky to call teaching history my dream job. Getting to share my passion for the past with students every day is both exciting and meaningful.

Outside the classroom, I stay busy and active! I’m a huge fan of pickleball, running, and watching Ohio State football (Go Bucks!). I also love reading and managing my fantasy football team—sometimes successfully! I serve as the assistant coach for the girls swim team and the senior class sponsor, both of which are roles I find incredibly rewarding.

I live in South County with my husband, our daughter, and our Shiba Inu, Rori.

I'm looking forward to another great year at Clayton High School. Go Greyhounds!
