I am a retired Middle School teacher from Naperville, Illinois ( a suburb of Chicago) with over 25 years of teaching experience, and I earned my Masters Degree in Teaching and Learning. I enjoy working with middle school students to help them achieve their highest potential and become positive community contributors. My husband retired from the Naperville Police Department in March 2021, I retired from teaching in June 2021, and we moved to Clarksville late June 2021. We have two sons, our oldest is a Corporal in the Army and he will transfer to Fort Campbell in August. Our youngest is a sophomore at the University of Missouri majoring in Business, and we are extremely proud of our sons. Since retiring and becoming an empty nester, I have discovered that I do not do well sitting still and I am excited to work again with middle schoolers. This position provides me the opportunity to work with MCMS students and help them achieve their highest potential.
