I grew up in Oak Lawn, IL- a suburb of Chicago and lived there through freshman year of high school. I went to St. Catherine of Alexandria for kindergarten-8th grade. I attended freshman year of high school at Mother McAuley High School. My dad's job transferred us to Lansdale, PA- a suburb of Philadelphia. I attended 10th-12th grades at Lansdale Catholic High School. I went to college at the University of Dayton. I am currently in my 23rd year of teaching first grade in the Diocese of Cleveland. I have a husband and two children, Morgan and Owen. Morgan graduated from SJS and Owen currently attends SJS.
