Hello students and parents!  I am truly excited to be at Franklin Middle School on the 7th grade team this year! I have been in education for 10 years, six of those years have been as an ELA teacher in Plainfield.  This is my first year at Franklin and I couldn't be happier! I have a Bachelor's in Law Enforcement and a Master's in Teaching, with a focus on ELA (English/Language Arts), Social Studies, and ESL/ELL (English as a Second Language).  I am married with two daughters and currently live in Oswego, IL.  Teaching is a career that I fully enjoy and feel honored to be able to work with you all this school year!
