I was born and raised in Michigan, and LOVE the University of Michigan. . . GO BLUE! Attended the University of Minnesota and earned a Bachelors of Individualized Studies with focuses in Management, Communication, and History of American Technology. From there I obtained my Special Education teaching license in Emotional/Behavioral disorders from the University of St. Thomas. I started work in District 287 back in 2008 and currently provide support for implementation of READ 180, System 44, and MATH 180, Innovation Coach, and Instructional support in Special Education.

I enjoy working with technology both inside and outside of school. My primary areas of technology interest are with Google Apps and mobile technology. I am also an Android enthusiast who also roots/mods devices. Other passions include visiting Canada (hope to live/work there someday) , playing Ingress (an addictive/active augmented-reality game by Google for Android devices), poking around on Pinterest, biking, softball, baking and of course. . . . college sports, GO BLUE!!
