Welcome to my professional website. I think there are things to learn all around us and I hope my students become life long learners. The world is ours to explore! I teach third grade at my favorite school in the whole world, Lincoln Elementary School. I say that because I attended Lincoln as a child. After graduating from the University of Illinois, I worked at IBM as a Systems Engineer. I love teaching, so I earned a Master's of Art in Teaching degree. I taught at a school for gifted children for three years, and earned a Master's in Gifted Education, and now I teach third grade at Lincoln.
