I was born, raised, and educated in Chicago and lived in Detroit and Virginia before moving to Huntsville in 2016. I live with my husband and 2 children, and our dogs Archie & Rizzo. In my free time, I enjoy listening to audiobooks, running, playing racquetball, tennis, board games, and traveling. I've explored Europe and Asia alone as well as with family. I love teaching students about why history is important to understand as well as how to better be aware of the world in which they live.
