About Me

I'm currently teaching at De La Salle Institute on Chicago's south side. At De La Salle I teach American Literature, AP English IV, and Journalism. I'm also the Yearbook Moderator, ACT Test Prep Writing Instructor, and a member of our One Book, One School committee. In my free time I'm an avid runner, and I've run the past three Chicago Marathons. I enjoy Chicago sports and cheer on the Sox, Bulls, Hawks, and Bears. I rescued a dog three years ago and he has become one of the greatest joys in my life.

Q&A with Jessica

Students must be encouraged to grow and develop literacy skills every day. This should be a natural, intuitive part of life. Students must have teachers and tutors who act as ambassadors for lifelong learning and lead by example. Educators should always want to be role models in the classroom, the school, and the community. Students must be able to connect classroom experience with the real world in order to develop the necessary literacy skills needed for higher order thinking. Students must feel the educators promise to foster a learning environment filled with the love of learning and an appreciation for reading literature. Educators must promote healthy lifestyles and active participation as a community member inside the classroom, inside the school, and in society to stimulate brain activity and continuous learning.
