I was born in Kankakee, IL and raised mostly in Bradley and Bourbonnais (home of the Bears' summer training camp). As an adult, I have lived in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and New York City. I'm a lifelong Christian, baptized at age 9, then again at age 41 (2016).
I have certificates from two different trade schools, a Bachelors in Criminal Justice from Governors State University in University Park, IL, and I have been to law school. I was a 2L (2nd year) when I quit. I have done pro bono legal work in the areas of criminal law and civil law. I worked for Cigna Health Care for over 9 years prior to law school. I understand the insurance industry inside and out.
I am married with three daughters that I home school. Being the sole teacher of our daughters has taught me a lot about teaching, learning, and education. Two of my daughters are a set of identical twins, so I am very well aware that no two children learn in the exact same way, even if their DNA is exactly the same.
Although my husband is the sole provider of our family, we are very far from wealthy. Our household income is right in line with the median household income for Illinois 2nd Congressional District. We live paycheck to paycheck, just like many of you. I do not have thousands of dollars to throw into a campaign, let alone tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions. My campaign is on a shoestring budget. That's okay with me because I'm frugal by nature. Yes, I am that mom that gets excited about toilet paper being on sale.
I have been a successful business owner in the past. I have also written a 600-page book on United States History and our 2-party political system. Shortly after finding a publisher, I suspended publishing until after this campaign.
I never had any desire to enter politics. Actually, I preferred to stay out of the limelight. For 26 years, I have watched politicians continue to have the same old, tired arguments about the same old, tired issues. It finally dawned on me, "these idiots don't have a clue how to actually solve problems!"
