As a proud member of the Chicago Public Schools community since 2023, I am thrilled to be a part of the South Loop team! I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Illinois at Chicago. (Go Flames!) My work is guided by a therapeutic approach centered on empathy and connection. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where children feel heard and understood. By focusing on the emotional and social aspects of their well-being, I can help them navigate challenges with greater confidence and resilience, empowering them to thrive both academically and personally.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy traveling and exploring new parts of the world with my husband. Some of my favorite places to travel are Mexico, Spain, and Italy. I also enjoy attending concerts baseball and soccer games.

My passion for working with children has shaped me into a dedicated professional committed to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment.
