Bio

After 6 years of teaching in Weld Re-1 and Adams 12; I am back to my graduating district. I grew up going through the Saint Vrain Valley system, graduating from Niwot High School. I then received my Bachelors from the University of Northern Colorado. Finally finishing my Masters in Reading Education from Grand Canyon University. I have taught 3rd-5th over the last six years. I adore working with the older students; watching them grasp hard concepts, talking through their learning, and advancing farther than they ever thought they could.

After school you can find me walking my dog, Koda, around McIntosh. I love to be in nature: gardening, hiking, and just enjoying the outdoors. I also love playing games, cooking, and snuggling up to watch my favorite movies or read a good book.
