I am a native of Chicago--and a Sox fan. Please don't hold that against me. I became a Cubs fanin-law [by way of marriage] in July 2008. Oh, and go Bears!!! I attended Chicago State University, where I received a BA in English with a concentration in Professional and Technical Writing in 2001. In 2004, I completed an MA in Writing Theory and Pedagogy at DePaul University. Prior to coming to Prairie State College as a fulltime instructor, and before I began teaching, I worked in purchasing and finance at Provident Hospital of Cook County for thirteen years. I worked fulltime while pursuing my BA and MA, so I understand what it is like to be a working student with a variety responsibilities. I previously taught at ITT Technical Institute, Trinity Christian College, Truman College, and Moraine Valley Community College. I joined Prairie State College as adjunct (part-time) faculty in 2005 and became a full-time professor at PSC in 2006. In January 2009, I was awarded tenure and look forward to the rewarding privilege of teaching at PSC for many years to come. Some of my faves include: my husband and son, trying different ethnic foods, different genres of music, and traveling to places with warm climates. Some of my non-faves include: cold weather, snow, and horror movies. Good luck, and have a great semester! All Best, Prof. Lee-Schott
