I am very excited to be joining The Ark community this fall. While I previously taught older children in an urban setting, I am looking forward to this new assignment, creating a safe, welcoming, first-school experience for the Nearly 3s. This is such a special time in the development of little ones, and I am privileged to be a part of that.

When not at The Ark, I am out and about in Lombard. My husband Steve and I have 4 children. Tom is out in the world, John and Steve are in college, and Claire is finishing high school.  I love family time, reading, gardening, and baking!
