About me
I have my BA in genetics and molecular biology and a secondary education certificate from Northwestern University.  I taught two years at Thornwood High School in South Holland, IL. Then, I returned to school to get my Masters of Science in Forensic Science from University of Illinois at Chicago.  I began teaching at PHS in 2007.
