I am excited and proud to be a second grade teacher at Bennett Ranch Elementary School in Falcon, Colorado!  I can't believe this is my 29^th year of teaching!  Time flies when you’re having fun!  This profession continues to feel like a privilege, as I educate the amazing minds of students who enter my classroom community each year.  My career began after I graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies.  My professional experience includes teaching in the following grade levels:  four years as a Resource teacher (one of those years being in middle school), six years teaching third grade, nine years as a second-grade teacher, six years teaching first grade, and three years teaching kindergarten.  I am often asked what grade level is my favorite to teach; fortunately, I have loved all of my teaching positions!  

My husband and I have been very blessed with a son and a daughter, ages eighteen and twenty.  As a family, we enjoy visiting relatives, camping in the beautiful Rocky Mountains, swimming, hiking and relaxing at home.
