I graduated from Illinois State University in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts in English Education. I taught for five years and went back to school during that time to get my Master's Degree in School Counseling from Concordia University. I am now a Counseling Department Chair and have been a School Counselor for the last seven years. In my free time, I love spending time with my family, keeping up with my energetic 6-year-old old, and traveling with friends.
