About me

A lifelong Barrington resident, I began working with children in high school and have continued ever since. I previously taught second grade before finding my home at The Learning Tree. I have two grown children and five grandchildren, and enjoy spending time outdoors, gardening, and staying active. Working here has been a blessing—our community keeps me young!

About me

I live in Island Lake with my three children, ages 10, 7, and 3. My days are busy driving my kids to soccer, gymnastics, and dance. I enjoy a good cup of coffee, the color lavender, and relaxing with Netflix when I can.
