Personal Summary: I began working in the field as the Aquatic/Program Supervisor with the Hoffman Estates Park District. After a year and a half I went to the Pleasant Dale Park District to take the position of Assistant Facility Manager for a fitness center. I chose to leave the field for a year and discovered where my true passion lies and am now working again in Aquatics. I wanted to become a mentor to help new professionals in the field discover what they are turly passionate about. I truly believe that to be happy in your position you have to be passionate about it. I learned that and I want to share my experiences. I love to be active outside of work doing anything that is new and exciting. I love reading and playing with my two dogs.
