About Me
My background
A bit about myself, I have an education and small business background. I was a bilingual/ESL teacher and bilingual coordinator in public schools, then I transitioned to the university level as a professor of education at Loyola University Chicago. I have had a consulting business on and off since 2001. I do education consulting ranging from program evaluations to restructuring for cultural and linguistic diversity. Earlier on I did translations and "bias in language" consulting for advertising. I am a Hinsdale resident and parent of two teenagers. I have a role in activism as one of the four founders and current admins of the After the March group here in Hinsdale.
I am passionate about running for office and it has long been my ultimate "professional" goal. I believe I am well suited to a board position with my experience in public education. As an educator and administrator, I know how integral our county services and the administration of these services are to so many of our residents. DuPage does a great job in many areas and I would like to see that continue, while working together to improve where we can.
