Working with students on a personal level, dealing with life situations and future planning is what I was driven to do since I left high school. My interest developed from experiences in a large family, teaching kids and respecting the adults and what they offered me in my own personal educational experience. Before I became a counselor at Palatine High School I taught physical education and health at the middle school level. I became a P.E. teacher for my love of sports, recreation, and working with kids.
