Hello!  My name is Heather Stinnett.  I  started working at Copper Mesa in the Fall of 2015 and I truly love being part of the CME community.  After graduating from  the University of Illinois (many years ago!) , I started my career working as a middle school Languare Arts teacher in the Chicago suburbs.  Next, I did some literacy coaching in k-8 school district  and then I went back into the classroom as as third grade teacher. When my family moved to Colorado in 2014, I kew I wanted to work as an interventionist. I was lucky to find the perfect job supporting students who need literacy support and  those who need enrichment and acceleration. 

When I'm not at school, I am enjoying my amazing family!  My kids are grown and/or almost grown.  My oldest works in Denver as a business analyst, my middle is working in DCSD as a  Speech & Language Pathologist and my youngest is a sophomore at CU Boulder studying Physics. My husband & I just celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary! But, the true star of the family is our dog Bear.
