About Me:

I've been a teacher here at AHS since 2011, and I LOVE teaching science here! I also love other things... 

1. My family - two kids, an amazing husband, and lots of extended family here in CO!

2. Travelling - Europe, South America, or just a camping trip... I'm in!

3. Gardening and cooking- let's be honest, I like food from the moment it comes out of the ground!

4. Music - did you know I taught piano lessons and played in a band?

5. Reading - yes... I am in a book club!

Why Am I Here?

Again, I LOVE teaching science here at AHS! I never really liked science in high school, but after switching my major 4 different times, physics was about the only major left to try! Taking physics classes turned out to be an incredibly empowering experience for me - how many people get to learn about quantum mechanics?? - and being able to understand how the world around me works gave me a huge confidence boost. I love teaching because I want to give my students that same confidence.
