"I graduated from DePauw University in May 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and a minor in Psychology. Throughout college I was a nanny for a family of two, during which time I worked with the children on summer packet lessons, and homework during the academic year. I moved up to Chicago in November 2010 and began working in sales. After a few months in the sales and marketing industry, I found that my true passion lies within teaching.
