Hi, I am so glad you are here!!!

Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! I am very excited to be teaching 1st Grade this year. This will be my 12th year at Flagstone, and my fifth year as a classroom teacher. I can not be any more excited to have the opportunity to be a part of such an exciting year in elementary school; First Grade! I look forward to building a relationship with not only the students in my classroom, but also the families of my students. This year will be filled with a lot of exploration, student driven and social learning that will encourage every student to reach their highest potential. I look forward to being a part of this journey with you and your child!

My family and I moved to Castle Rock in 2007 from Farmington, New Mexico. We love Colorado and everything the area has to offer!
My husband and I have been married for 22 years, and we have two children; Kyle (20) and Tyler (17). We also have two dogs, Aspen and Timber. Both of our children attended Flagstone Elementary School from preschool through 6th grade. My oldest graduated High School in 2021, and my youngest is a Senior at Douglas County High School. We live in the Flagstone neighborhood, and we enjoy seeing the familiar faces of children and families from the neighborhood schools.
In my free time, I enjoy hunting, camping, visiting National Parks, wildlife photography, crafting, and being a 4H Shooting Spots Leader.
