I attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and received my bachelor of arts degree in the Teaching of Spanish with a minor in U.S. and World History.  I was a member of the Alpha Epsilon Phi social sorority, a James Scholar, and a member of the Campus Honors Program.

I studied in Granada, Spain, for a semester during my junior year of college.  It was an amazing time and I learned so much about Spain and Europe.

I earned my first master's degree from Roosevelt University in Teacher Leadership in December of 2003.  I am currently attending Roosevelt to earn my second master's degree.  I will graduate in May of 2006 with a master of arts degree in Educational Leadership Organization and Change.

In my free time I love to travel. One of my favorite places to visit is Ixtapa, Mexico.  It isn't very touristy, yet there is perfect sun and great shopping, two of my favorite things to enjoy!

I also love to shop--these are some of my favorite places (and where you will find me on a day off!)
