教师重点:2021年3月

EC: After graduating from Fenwick in 2006, I studied middle childhood education with a focus in math and science at Miami University in Oxford, OH. I received my master’s in educational leadership from DePaul University in 2014. 

EC: I taught 6th-8th grade science and 8th grade Algebra at Immaculate Conception St. Joseph in the Old Town neighborhood of Chicago. I felt 非常 much at home my first year of teaching, as t在这里 were five other alums spanning 2000-06 and the principal was former Fenwick Assistant Principal and teacher, 玛丽亚山.
 

EC: While I have not been reading for enjoyment as much as I would like to these days, I just started Lies My Teacher Told Me: E非常thing Your American 历史 Textbook Got Wrong 詹姆斯·W. 罗文.

EC: I have always enjoyed cooking, but my husband and I really honed our skills during quarantine. Pre-COVID I loved spending time with family and friends -- something I miss 非常 much and have tried to find creative ways to still do. Zoom Yahtzee and Trivia are a couple of my go-to’s. In the summer, I play in a 16-inch softball league with friends. 

EC: I played varsity softball for four years and volleyball my freshman and sophomore year. I was a member of Video Yearbook, founding member of the Latin Club, and NHS secretary. Lastly, I was a leader and rector at 凯洛 … Live the Fourth!

EC: I do not currently run any sports, clubs or activities at Fenwick. However, I have coached JV and varsity softball off and on over the last decade. 

EC: I think Fenwick students are INVOLVED. Whether inside Fenwick’s walls through sports or clubs or outside Fenwick within their own community, Fenwick students find ways to immerse themselves in their surroundings.

EC: My love for the school environment manifested itself early as I was one of those kids who played “teacher” in the basement growing up. However, it was my junior year service project at Fenwick that really solidified it for me. I returned to my former grammar school, St. Luke, to help students with homework after school. What also inspired me to choose education was having amazing teachers such as Mr. Farran. He made learning personal and applicable. You also couldn’t miss him in the front row of e非常 sporting event or activity cheering his students on and getting to know them outside of the classroom. 

EC: I think most people would agree that I am 非常 organized, which is helpful in planning and keeping students (and myself) on task. 

What are your favorite classes to teach?
EC: CP代数I! Although I am biased, as that is the only class I teach currently.
