I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2013.  (ILL-INI!)  I studied Elementary Education with an endorsement in Language Arts and Social Studies.  During the summer of 2012, I was given the opportunity to study abroad in Verona, Italy.   In 2014, I received my Middle School teaching certificate.  After graduating, I was a 6th grade teaching assistant and Resource teacher for Math RtI. Then I accepted a 3rd grade teaching position at Oak View Elementary, and am currently a 3rd grade co-teacher with the grade level Special Education teacher.
