I was born and raised in Chicago! I choose to teach because I love spending my days talking about literature with middle school kids. My husband and I have two kids and we spend our time at the gym, outside, watching movies and EATING! My favorite quote is from “To Kill a Mockingbird” when Atticus says to Scout, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view—” “Sir?” “—until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”
