  About Me
 
I have been working in the early childhood field for a number of years, mostly as an assistant preschool teacher. My favorite aspect of working with children is teaching through play and everyday experiences. I also enjoy exploring nature with children and reading with them.

I live in the Morgan Park/Beverly area with my husband, 8 year old daughter and dog. I am also very familiar with most Chicago neighborhoods and don't mind traveling. As a family we take advantage of a lot of the cultural experiences Chicago offers. On the weekends we like to travel to Michigan and the Indiana Dunes and explore nature. I love riding my bike and doing yoga.
