I am excited to be a part of the Legacy Charter School team. I did my undergraduate studies in my home state, at the University of Northern Iowa, and studied for two years in Illinois to get my master’s degree from Olivet Nazarene University. I taught at Emmett Till Math & Science Academy in the Woodlawn Community on the Southside of Chicago for over five years. I enjoy forging new partnerships with scholars and their families as they start their educational careers at Legacy.

National-Louis University - BA, Early Childhood Education, Psychology
I am a graduate of National-Louis University with a Bachelor of Arts in early childhood education and a minor in psychology. Teaching pre-kindergarten is a rewarding profession that requires love, respect, and devotion. I believe in a play based learning environment that dramatically directs children to higher learning. To unlock young minds one must open the doors to opportunity so that he or she can discover their world through constructive play.
