Profile

 

My first degrees were obtained from Elmhurst University. I have a B.S. in International Business and German. At the time, I had worked for three years at McDonald's Corporation in Accounting and International Restaurant Development. In 1993, I moved to Germany with my husband who is from Germany. We spent three and a half years living in Germany.  In 1997, we moved back to the USA. In 2003, I went back to school to learn Spanish. In 2004, I enrolled in a Masters in German with Teaching program at UIC. I have been teaching German since 2004. I started teaching as a T.A. at UIC for two and a half years. After earning my M.A. in German with Teaching in 2006, I taught German for a year as adjunct faculty at Lewis University. After that, I was hired at Romeoville High School, where I taught German and Spanish 1 until my current position opened up at Shepard High School. I attended Shepard High School myself and took four years of German. In 2008, I replaced my former German teacher who retired. I enthusiastically took over the German Program and have worked at Shepard High School ever since.
