I am married with 2 kids and currently live in Millstadt. As of 2025, I have been working at East as a paraprofessional for 12 years and as the Athletic Trainer for 16 years. I currently serve as the Vice President for the Paraprofessional union.  I have worked as an aide in the Life Skills program, ALP, general education classrooms, as an Individual Care Aide, and in some industrial classrooms, both at East and at the CAVE.  I hope all of those different experiences allow me to understand the needs and demands that our paraprofessionals face in all of the different settings we have in District 201.
