Bio

I’m 45 years old and the mother of three boys, ages 11, 13, and 17. I’m a high school French teacher, and I love my job! I’m a runner and I recently completed my first marathon in Detroit. I live in the Chicago area. I have a supportive husband and family, and I feel I have the best possible team near me. I am ready for whatever is ahead, and I plan to face it head on.
