Hello Woodmen Hills Students and Families!
I love being a part of Tornado Nation! I was the Assistant Principal at WHES for two years before becoming the Principal in 2020. I continue to greatly value strong partnerships with each of you while serving the learning community as we engage, elevate, and enhance learning and teaching for our students and staff. You will often hear me share that Woodmen Hills Elementary is THE best school on earth. Our students, staff, and families are unlike any other - they genuinely care for one another, they rise above any challenge, and I feel so grateful to spend my days at our big school with a small neighborhood feel. Each year is no different as we remain united in one mission - whatever it takes for our kids.
I started my career with Westside Community Schools in Omaha, Nebraska before moving to Colorado. I then taught in Academy District 20 for 11 years before coming to WHES in 2018. During my time at WCS and D20, I taught elementary and middle school Physical Education, Kindergarten, 1st grade, and also spent several years as a Gifted Education Specialist, Response to Intervention Coordinator, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support Leader, and Facilitator of Student Growth.
I am small town Nebraska born and raised. My husband, two daughters, and I have called Falcon home since we moved here in 2007. In my time away from school, you will find our family outside – sometimes at an arena where our girls are competing in events on the back of their horses or at a baseball field somewhere across the nation.
Please reach out if you need anything - we are in this together!
