Hello Families!

 

I am beyond thrilled to be back in the classroom for the 2022-23 school year.  I have been a licensed teacher in Colorado since 2003.  I stepped out of the classroom for a few years to manage a program that provided respite care for military families who had children with special needs.  However, I knew my love for teaching would bring me back to the classroom at some point.  I am excited about being part of the 3rd grade team!

 

 

I received my Master's in Elementary Education at the University of Hawaii!  Yes, we are a military family and this was our first duty station together!  I also have an International Diploma in Montessori Pedagogy.  I taught in a Montessori school for 6 years when I first moved to Colorado.  I am fluent in Sign Language and love to use basic signs with my students.  

 

 

I have 4 children who keep me very busy with after-school activities such as football, cross country, dance and tennis.  When we aren't at a sporting event, we are still outdoors playing, hiking, walking our dogs, snowboarding or camping next to a lake somewhere.  When there are those rare moments of quiet time, you'll find me curled up in a blanket reading a book.
