I received my bachelor's degree from MacMurray College in biology, and my master's degree from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in forensic and clinical psychology. Since graduating with my MA, I have worked in various settings and with all age groups, including a juvenile prison, juvenile substance abuse residential treatment centers, a residential home for children and adolescents with severe psychiatric issues, a rehab floor in a hospital, private practice for psychology, and case management & utilization management for several managed care organizations. I have been a substitute teacher for ages K-12, and also provided tutoring to college students while an undergraduate student.

In my spare time I enjoy time with my 2 small dogs, exercise and pilates, movies, music, art, and time with family and friends.

I look forward to working as a tutor and helping improve the lives of the students I work with!
