I have known since high school that I wanted to be a teacher. I love the connection that I make with my students and seeing them succeed, especially in a subject that they didn't think they reach success. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Iowa, a Masters degree from Roosevelt University in Theater and a Masters degree from National Louis University in Teaching: Subject area - English. I have spent the past 20 years teaching in the classroom and have loved all of my classroom experiences.
