I graduated in 1996 from Northern Illinois University with a B.S. in Marketing.  I worked in advertising, specifically in account management, in Chicago for three years.  In 1999, I began graduate school at Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago and graduated in 2001 with my Masters in Social Work.  I have worked at Fairview for seven years as the School Social Worker and have LOVED every minute of it!  I am an active participant on Fairview's Problem Solving Team and am a member of the District Autism Team.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.  My husband and I enjoy traveling and spending time downtown trying out new restaurants.  I'm a BIG White Sox fan and an avid reader.
