I am so excited about teaching 4th grade at SRES again this year! I absolutely love the students at this age - they are growing by leaps and bounds and love to learn! This is my 10th year at SRES (I previously taught 5th grade), so I'm also excited to be able to celebrate this big anniversary at the end of the year. This is also my 12th year being a leader of the Battle of the Books reading contest. Although this is a 5th grade event, students need to be prepared as early as possible to be able to participate in this wonderful activity. Instilling a love of reading in students is something that is very important to me. 

 

I consider teaching my greatest passion. Second to that would be spending time being active. In my spare time I love hiking, biking, skiing, paddleboarding, working out and anything else that keeps me moving! I am also an avid reader who loves to chill with a book and a good cup of coffee. My husband Bruce and I live in Monument and have two grown sons. 

 

This year is going to be amazing. I can't wait to get started!
