About Mrs Testen



I was born and raised on the Southwest side of Chicago.After surviving High School, I got a BS in Chemistry  from Loyola University and worked at a testing lab, where we took apart Playskool toys, tested Lincoln Logs and plating solutions. 

Next stop was the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I went to become a teacher.  I received  a Masters Degree in Inorganic Chemistry and my Thesis was the chemiluminescence of luminol.  But I didn't become a teacher right away. First I worked at a sewerage plant and the Public Health Department, where I ran the lab and was the Beach Grinch for many years. 

In 2001 our family moved to Plainfield, and I finally got to teach.  I have two kids, three cats and not enough time for my hobbies.
