Seven = The number of years I have been a Chicago Public School teacher.
Three = The number of years I predicted I would be a CPS teacher.
One = The number of principals it took to convince me that a career within CPS was sustainable and rewarding.
I spent a year of my post-college life working in a stuffy Chicago high rise, analyzing demographics and creating spreadsheets for an advertising agency. I quickly realized that spending a lifetime in front of a computer screen was not for me. In revamping my career, I harnessed my life-long passion for children and learning and decided to pursue teaching. Through an alternative certification program, I received my M.Ed. and began teaching at Hitch Elementary School on Chicago's northwest side.
