About Me

I have been teaching at Amundsen for more than 15 years.  
I have a BA in Electrical Engineering from Northwestern University and a Master's degree from UIC in Secondary Math Education.
I have 3 kids who are in 8th, 10th and 12th grade all in CPS.
I am an avid birdwatcher and you might see me at the lakefront or a local park looking for migratory birds passing through.
I live in the neighborhood.  Feel free to say hi if you see me at Jewel or strolling down Clark Street.
