Annie has been teaching 4th grade for 17 years and still finds new ways to keep the classroom exciting. She teaches at a Catholic school in Chicago, near Wrigley Field (go Cubbies)! She’s passionate about adventure—whether that’s exploring national parks, training on her Peloton, running, swimming, or taking on unique opportunities like serving as the 2017 Iditarod Teacher on the Trail.

When she’s not teaching or podcasting, Annie loves spending time with her husband, Mark, and their dog, Tipperary—a certified therapy pup who work’s at Mark’s school.
