About Me

I'm a graduate of National-Louis University with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education. I currently teach 3rd grade at Ross Elementary in Chicago.I'm very easy to get along with and I love chatting with people! There's nothing better than hanging out with friends and having a good time!I love parties and socializing with people, but occasionally I enjoy time to myself, just sitting back and relaxing to my classical music and jazz.

I'd like to meet:

Jesus Christ, The Iron Chefs, Kaga Takeshi, Ina Garten (well, I did meet her), Giada De Laurentiis, Paula Deen, David Odgen Stiers, William Christopher, etc.

Music:

I enjoy classical music, especially composers from the Baroque era, French composers of the late 19th and 20th century, and 20th century composers. I particularly enjoy organ and piano music by various composers. I also fancy jazz.
