As a true lifelong learner, I could picture no better career than teaching STEM here at Sierra. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a Master of Science degree in Anatomy from Colorado State University (Go Rams!). After a few years in the medical and IT fields, I decided that I wanted to be a teacher to share my love of science and learning.  I went back to school yet again to obtain my teaching license from Metropolitan State University of Denver. This is my nineth year teaching, and I’m thrilled to get to continue learning with all of you!

My goal this year is to amaze or surprise every single student with at least one lesson. It goes without saying that I will be amazed by all of you too! As a teacher, I aim to be your guide as we learn about how the world around us works and our impact on the world as well. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than helping a student identify and develop a new interest.
