A Little Bit About Nickie...
I consider myself to be a life-long learner and I am thrilled to be the lead learner of this wonderful school!
I have been an educator for 16 years. I began my career as an English as a Second Language teacher and Spanish teacher in Sharon, Wisconsin. In 2006, I moved to Illinois and began teaching Dual Language first grade at Hawthorn School of Dual Language in Vernon Hills.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and my Master’s degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and the American College of Education. I also studied and lived in Seville, Spain where I learned to speak Spanish.
In my free time, I love to spend time with my husband and two children. I enjoy cooking, reading, playing the piano, and traveling. I am originally from Wisconsin and love Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.
I believe that we cannot do this important and difficult job alone. We are in this together and you can count on me to support you in any way possible. I know I can count on you to do the same!
