<br>I was born and raised in the Chicago area, and earned my undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. I then moved to Eugene, Oregon where I earned a master's degree in special education. When I'm not at work, my daughter Sophia, 2 cats (Mia and Lilly) keep me and my husband on our toes.
