Bio

We love Colorado............

My family (Julie-Spouse, Kaylie, Tanner, 2 dogs-Grizzly and Juniper) and I officially moved out to Colorado from Pennsylvania in 2017. We were long vacationers to Colorado, both in summers and winters. I started my career as a Project Engineer practicing Heavy Civil Project Management Construction Engineering for American Infrastructure. I am a 2003 graduate of Penn State University in Civil Engineering, a 2006 graduate of Kutztown University with a Master of Education in Secondary Education Mathematics, and 2012 graduate of Lehigh University where I earned a Master of Engineering in Energy Systems Engineering. However, my passion for teaching Engineering, Architecture and the Built Environment brought me back to the classroom. I now have 12 years teaching STEM and Engineering Education formally using Project Lead The Way (PLTW) curricula, where I am certified to teach three courses; Introduction to Engineering Design (IED), Principles of Engineering (POE), Civil Engineering and Architecture(CEA), and Engineering Design and Development (EDD). In my spare time, I enjoy many outdoor activities that Colorado has to offer including skiing, cycling- mtb, cx, road, and track, hiking, and SUPing.
