After hearing about who they are and what they do for the community, I really felt like it was a great fit for me. I can honestly say that I was not wrong!

My favorite event is Cause For Celebration and then the check distribution afterwards! Seeing how grateful the recipients are just makes me smile!

I have the pleasure of being surrounded by many like-minded women all working towards a common goal.

I have been employed by Joliet Central High School as a special education teacher for the past 24 years. I am not married, but dating a wonderful man whom I dated more than 25 years ago, and couldn’t be happier! I’m looking forward to what the future holds for us!
What's a fun fact that most people might not know about you?
I not only share a birthday with Helen Keller, but am actually distant cousins with her too!
