I’m really excited to teach 3rd grade at Evans Elementary again this year.  Although I have only been at Evans for 5 years, this will be my 16th year teaching. I graduated from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs in 2004, where I received my bachelor’s in English and a teaching certificate in Elementary Education. I received my teaching experience from schools in Colorado, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas.

 On a personal note, I have been married to my wonderful husband for 30 years, who I met and married right here in Colorado Springs.  We’ve had quite an adventure together and plan on many more.  We have a beautiful daughter, who graduated from the University of Texas in Arlington with a business degree.  We also have a free-spirited son, who moves around often.  The only baby left is our miniature dachshund, named Butters.

 On the weekends, you will find me hiking in the mountains, visiting family, reading a good book, or watching a movie, usually from the Marvel series. 

I am looking forward to a fabulous year with your student.
