I am excited to be here in North Carolina!  I moved here just before the school year started (literally the day before) and have been loving the area and JCMS in particular!  I moved here from Chicago where I grew up.  I went to school at the University of Iowa where I studied history, government and got my teaching certificate.  Following my graduation, I substitute taught for a few years in the Chicago Public Schools. In my spare time I like to watch sports (Go Cubs!), swim in the ocean, cook and learn more about history! 

I am looking forward to getting to know all of the students we have here and helping them be successful.
