I live in McHenry, Illinois, with my husband, Brian, and our two children, both students at Da Vinci Waldorf School (Classes of 2026 and 2029). I have a background in music education and have taught elementary music in McHenry District 15 for the past 29 years.

I currently serve as the Secretary on the Board of Directors for Da Vinci Waldorf School, where I am an active advocate for Waldorf education. As a parent, I chose Da Vinci Waldorf School because it fosters a nurturing, creative, and holistic learning environment. I am passionate about supporting educational approaches that cultivate curiosity, artistic expression, and a lifelong love of learning.
