I am a 7^th grade math teacher at North Ridge. I was born and raised in Danville and graduated from DHS. I then attended the University of Illinois and Eastern Illinois University. This year begins my 17^th year of teaching at NRMS. I absolutely love math and teaching students in my hometown community. I have two children at home who keep me busy.  I also have two dogs, three cats, and a leopard gecko. As you can tell, I also love animals. My favorite hobbies are cooking, camping, swimming, boating, watching movies and just being outside with my family.
