Life has definitely changed in 10 years (aside from my current city :). After graduation I attended Millikin University where I played basketball and studied elementary education. I then married my high school sweetheart, Nick Klein, and began teaching sixth grade at St. Anne Grade School. After a year, Nick and I moved back to Braidwood and I began teaching at Minooka Junior High School. While teaching in Minooka, I earned my master's degree from Olivet and I now serve as a reading specialist at Minooka Intermediate School. Since high school, I am most proud of my two children, Kirstin (born September 2008) and Kaiden (born January 2010).
