When I am not teaching I can be found having fun with my family. I live near Chatfield with my husband, Jacob, and my two children, Joshua and Bridget. Joshua is a college student at CU Boulder this year studying aerospace engineering. and Bridget is a tenth grader at Heritage High School. I took twelve years of classical piano when I was younger and still enjoy playing when I have free time. Reading is one of my favorite free time activities. Walking, hiking, and running keep me healthy. Did you know that my first job was a lifeguard? I also taught swim lessons?

This will be my twenty-six year teaching and my tenth year teaching at Redstone. I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I am a National Board Certified Teacher as well as a SMART Exemplary Educator and a Seesaw Ambassador.  My mom is a retired teacher and my grandmother was a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse...so I guess teaching is in my blood.
