Meet Ms. Mahowald
Where I'm from
I was born in Minnesota and on the last day of Kindergarten my family moved to Walnut Creek California (a suburb of San Francisco.) I lived there for two years before moving to Issaquah, Washington (near Seattle) where I spent the next 18 years of my life. I went to Central Washington University where I received my Undergraduate Degrees in Elementary Education and Special Education. I began my teaching career in the Seattle area at Maywood Middle school teaching 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. After two years of teaching I moved to Chicago to be closer to family and begin a new adventure in my life!
Interests
I love photography! I like taking pictures of people, especially my family! I also love any activity that is outside! I love running and biking along the Chicago lakefront. I enjoy gardening and seeing my handwork pay off as my flowers bloom. I am a frequent visitor of the Chicago Public Library as I love to read. When I am not getting lost in a book, I am usually reading textbooks for my graduate school program. Overall, I love learning!
